Software is very much different - it is abstract and has to follow
deterministic rules that are set by machinedesign, compilerrules, maths
etc. so if you implement a feature for w computer by means of coding you
have to follow rules that are made by a community of founders, that
follow logical determination also - you do not "create" features in
software - you rearrange things that have been done before - a bit
similar to the work with records that are made to be mixed by DJs, or
with loops that where recorded with the sole intention to be used with
samplers.
Are you saying that programming is less creative and original and
"personal" (whatever that means) than writing and recording music? I
definitely disagree.
