Programming is not an Olympic sport. ***Bonus Points!!!*** It's both, depending on why you do it. If you code because you love it, it's Art. If you code to achieve something, it's Science. If you code to achieve mountains money, it's Apparent. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Programming is no more art or science then paint. It's what you do with it that makes it fall into one of those catergories. I also wouldn't agree that if money is involved then it's not art. Most professional artists aim to produce money from their work, because if they didn't then they wouldn't have the time to be an artist. |

I agree. Intentions don't matter, but rather the final product.

I didn't say it wasn't art, just more apparent that the artist's tried to do it for the cash. Or at least, you can see they've managed a little success once, and are trying the same again! It tends to limit their previous artisticness, and shoves them into a corner where they keep doing the same thing over and over until everyone gets sick of it, then continues to bang on and on about it, trying to get the old love back again, even though it'll never come about, because people didn't like that one thing, they liked the originality of the artist that it symbolised..
