A wrinkle to this is that sharing/"stealing" or reusing code often contributes to the idea that it's just purely functional, not that the collaborative process is beautiful in and of itself. Intellectual property is not the value of art, it's an obstacle to it.

I'd say programming is to a degree art as everything is but the more important comparison imo is that it's a -craft- Much like carpentry or baking, etc. the moment you see the results you know how far above in quality and longlevity it is and how that can't be replaced fully

you joke but I still remember the time I performed CPR on Dick Cheney after his 82nd heart attack. it was all very eerie; it was a bitter cold night. then one by one, each of us started dying out.

Okay so @defector.com has had an odd glitch since the site redesign a couple of weeks back where the wrong photo and headline are often put together on the main page and I was going to ask them about fixing it but this just happened and as far as I'm concerned they have to leave it as is.
Screenshot for a Defector podcast episode with the headline "Consider the Emotional Lives of Scallops" only the accompanying photo is a white gormless stubbled red-headed UK singer of recent notoriety giving a flat smile to the camera while wearing a washed out peach top as beige as he is against a flat background. So, actually, probably a scallop anyway.

Something instead of nothing
Comic strip, page 1: a chimpanzee is using sign language to communicate to a zookeeper, “Why is there something instead of nothing?” The zookeeper laughs to his colleagues, “He wants another banana!” The other zoo workers are cracking up hysterically behind him.Page 2: Later, the main zookeeper is in a dark room filled with TVs displaying security footage of the zoo animals. He is soaking wet in a raincoat, staring solemnly at the screen which shows the chimpanzee. The zookeeper reaches down to press a large red button on the desk beneath the screen display.Page 3: from inside the chimpanzee exhibit, we see the security gate open. The chimpanzee wander through and exits the building to a dark, rainy street corner. He extends his arms and lets the rain fall onto him.Page 4: the chimpanzee is in the backseat of a cab, driving somewhere else in the city at night. The final panel is the chimpanzee at checkout in a grocery store with a huge pile of bananas. The clerk looks mildly shocked.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: two friends at a table in a bar. One of them says, “here we go.” Panel 2: He continues, “Derek is doing his pickup routine again.” Derek is person-sized anole lizard in a brown leather jacket. He’s at the bar, drink in hand, extending his dulap (the red, retractable piece of flesh under a lizards neck) at a woman sitting next to him. Panel 3: the two friends at the table are dumbfounded to see Derek successfully attracted this woman, and they are leaving the bar together.

Oh INTERESTING—they’re talking about how Voxel-driven combat creates a quick flow between combat and exploration, Ripping up terrain and knocking enemies into walls can expose explorable areas. So it’s good for combat arenas and to have discoverable elements in the walls.

Home security systems are safety theater. They make us feel like we’re in control, but they don’t actually reduce the risk of violence. If anything, they’re a part of a broader, predatory industry that exploits our fears and *increases* the risk of violence to keep us spending money.

Headline of a Q&A in New Yorker formatting

Headline: A panicked middle-aged man refuses to tell me directions to the bathroom.

Subhed: Please, I just have to pee. I'm in a hurry.

By Isaac Chotiner
March 4, 2026Excuse me.

Oh, God. Oh, no. Holy shit. Get away from me.

I was wondering if you knew where the bathrooms are.

Look, I'm ... it's not a crime to scroll through your high school girlfriend's Instagram account. We remained friends after high school! I was at her wedding! It's only natural to see how she's doing.I'm in a bit of a hurry, and I'm afraid that if I choose the wrong corridor, I'll be late for my train.

I think they're down that way, but I'm actually from out of town. Please stop talking to me.Real quick, though. I agree that it's natural to be interested in an old friend, but aren't you afraid about the message you might be sending by liking a picture of her at the beach from 2015?

If that did happen, and I'm only going off your word, it was probably an accident. They put the ... scroll bars or whatever ... close to the thumbs up button. People have been complaining about that for years. I've been complaining about that for years.
