I think Troll recognition and removal would be a good start.
and if they could just fix stupid...what a wonderful world this would be!

What about get.off.my.cloud?

Ditto. It's easy to blame looking at nothing further than 28" away, but I don't think it's the sole problem.

I blame global warming. First, that homeopathic increase in CO2 affects the elasticity of the cornea, and of course that .01C increase in temperature just devastates one's ability to see beyond the tip of one's nose.

Because we no longer need not prey nor we are prey. A short sighted human falls very quickly to his/her death in the natural world, whereas now there is not such a mechanism to decrease both the lifespan and the procreation of genetically defective people.
Luckily, as I have both a lazy eye and myopia.

Is computer science even a science at all? I contend that a software engineer has more in common with an artist than a physicist. You know it when you see it
|

Yes indeed. Many of our legacy applications remind me of the abstract expressionist artist Jackson Pollock. He was a specialist in the drip and splatter painting.

I completely agree!

I agree with you.
More Objective
Any finite system will be more closely related to science.
We use computer languages which are finite to solve a limited, finite problem set.
There are ways to measure the goodness/badness of the solution and even though numerous solutions will be reasonably equal, it does not mean there is no (mostly) objective answer.
More Subjective
Art however, is as close to infinite as possible in this finite universe.
As soon as you say you've solved art, along comes another possibility simply because you can redefine it to be something else.
Of course, we can transform anything into a subjective view or make it more subjective.
Thought Experiment
How about this one?
Suppose I give you problem that is to be solved that is quite limited.
You are to solve the puzzle by filling in the blanks (underscores with either a or b).
When both are the same letter, then you win.
[_ _]
[a b] lose
[a a] win
[b a] lose
[b b] win
It is an extremely limited system and difficult to put in the art category.
We can write an app to do it calculate the answer, etc.
Our Minds View the Finite System Easily
No one would consider the program which is written to solve that as art. Because our minds can easily see the finite system behind it.
Limited Thinking
However, with a large system -- though still finite -- suddenly the same people will attempt to transform it into "art". That's limited thinking. Just because the problem set is large doesn't mean it has transformed to art.
Transformation Into Art
However, I could reform the entire thing as art and tell you that there is hidden meaning when you render the answer as
[a b]
you are describing the loneliness felt by all humans as they recognize that they are a when others are b.

Quote: If I want to put up a giant white canvas and call it art, so be it
How will you explain to the audience ? Oh there is creamy white on that corner, I used smoke white in the middle ...
Believe me, you'll end up admiring your art alone same to your code.

If it does need to be justified, then it's not an Art to me. You have to have an audience to make sure it is. Else you're some kind of mentally ill(if so you need help) person who claim it as an Art. Same has to go with your code.
Cheers.

It is a creative and maybe even an expressive activity, but that doesn't make it art.
