It also implies you've caught something of value. And get to have stew.

>I think, however, artistry of software comes from the design, not the code per se. The end product can be an artpiece, or a utility, depending on how its designed.

Which fits your building analogy. Architecture and design are artistry, welding steel is a craft.

The original essay states that some women want to code, but only enough to make up 20% of the CS workforce, and that the author believes this isn't a result of discrimination. You can't disprove that hypothesis by talking to women who do want to code.

The argument at hand is if the 20% representation level is a result of discrimination and bias in the field, or something else.
