That’s a stretch. I know code style can feel like an art form (and in a way, it is), but the results is that matters. No user ever on earth care what the code looks like. Not a single one. It only matters to other engineers, but that’s the same for other trades as well. When was the last time you gave a shit about how your plumbing is routed in your house or apartment? Other plumbers sure as shit do. But you or I? Don’t give two shits just want hot water and good pressure.

Abso-fucking-lutely-not it isn’t.
Art is anything made by a sentient being with the intent of making you feel or think something.
I can write software in a way that makes you feel or think, especially when it comes to interacting with games.
Just because you don’t respect the art form, doesn’t mean the rest of us don’t.
