You're trying to learn how to code because you think being a janitor is a lucerative and rewarding career choice if computers are involved.

I'm learning to code because I believe "museum quality software" might possibly exist and I'm chasing the high of yet another craft that requires very little material investment.

We're not the same.

And before the obvious troll appears:

No, the museum quality code is not in the room with us right now.

@patcharcana What is even your definition of museum quality here out of curiosity.

Like will last for ages and keep being relevant forever so it gets displayed as history? Or so pretty and beautiful it gets shown as art? Something completely different? Multiple choices?

@Doridian That's a moving target but it means something about artistry, something about having an "archival" or "built to last" nature, and something about, for lack of a better term, "Functional Correctness".

This is a question that answering would require my usual full blogpost process to get my head around what I mean in full. Your conversation with Kranston et all that follows is actually a good step in the right direction.
