    I’m a software “engineer” and also passionate about cooking. Both are arts. You can’t reduce it to an algorithm

      Same; but imo while “real cooking” is an art, following instructions (a recipe) is basically an algorithm. At least, expressing it as one doesn’t change the opportunities for artistic expression.
