Beyond the Code: The Creative Nature of Programming

Programming is often thought of as a skill reserved for "geeky" people, but the truth is that it's a creative art form that requires many of the same traits and skills we use in our daily lives.

Whether it's producing thoughts, ideas, solutions, or goals, programming is akin to an artistic or even spiritual practice that requires us to tap into our most human qualities.

Programming: An Artistic and Spiritual Practice

In programming, the clarity and rationality of our thoughts are essential, and they require a unique degree of full honesty that you don't often find in other activities.

without this level of rationality, programming simply cannot work! It builds on these traits and depends on them to exist.
