But the article isn't titled "Programming is art for me", is it?

And the article clearly stated that I belong to the type of people for whom programming is a way to make money. It went on to say that there is another type of person for whom programming is an art.

Yes, but you have sentences started with "I ..." about 47 times. So i decided that you wrote about yourself.

I don't understand the take about "programming is a way to make money". Programs cannot pay to you.

I think you should clarify what you're talking about: art, programming, or money. Because these are three different systems.

If you talk about money show me the numbers. If talk about code show me the code. If you talk about art show me the art.

This sort of clarification to be quite honest makes alot of your prose ring very hollow around there being distinct classes. In the beginning I will say that you very much make it clear you believe parts of your experience were closer to art as a way to frame the rest of the points you think about.

You could have avoided the programmer classification entirely here while staying consistent, but instead seem to be distancing yourself from again, your own framing just because you chose a different path which I don't understand at all.
