Some bricklaying may be art. Not all bricklaying is art.

Right but isn’t this the thesis of the article? That’s just like painting, in fact. Before photography, at least, a lot of painting was functional. Writing is an art form as well as a medium.

Programming is the same. It’s not a special case that is never artistic, is the thesis of the article; we should be prepared to defend the idea that sometimes its our art.
