The best philosophic ideas I’ve read come from programmers and builders. I don’t know why that connection exists. My hunch is that programming and philosophy both deal in the abstract so are inherently connected somehow.

It doesn’t. The meaningful connection is between other programmers and you. Same reason some people like sports metaphors. The medium is the message.

Philosophy deals with things that sound good but don’t work in reality. So does programming. I think that’s where the inherent connection is.

I was going to put a facetious comment about Marx’s grave and my contribution to philosophy but I’ll leave that for another post.
