I sometimes feel that comparing IT engineering to art is unfair to artist, because the artists I know they are always like "huh, you are doing this thing entirely different than I do and I thought the way I do that is really great, but that looks really interesting! Maybe I should play around with that myself later!" and not "you are doing this thing that is clearly shit, your project sucks and should just stop doing programming".
And I wished we had more exploratory mindsets across the space.
