yeah, but food is very primal, actually the only thing we need to do as humans to survive except sleep, and the act of sharing food is very culturally encoded, the energy you put inside is understood by everyone

coding is very abstract purely human invention to produce desired "result" so as long as the code works people rarely care about how it was made.., that does not diminish coding for fun and art, but we cant expect people to appreciate it as much as cooking
