"Design has to work, art does not." - Donald Judd

My code is an art

So chiseling a statue doesn’t count as work, ok! These assholes like to sound smart with their quasi philosophical quotes but in the end they’re dumb as shit

@d-fanelli they're talking about whether the design or art does work, not whether it needs work to create.

@d-fanelli read the quote again. This means that the statue itself doesn't have to work. A better analogy is how a painting is to be observed, while design should lend itself to the user and direct their attention. It has a task to accomplish.

Reader has to work, assumer doesn't.

I was drunk lol. Still, intellectual quotes are so much fun to poke fun at

I'm naming my kid Art.
