Drawing a dick on a foggy mirror is art.

Plenty of people think their art is awful, even when it isn’t, programmers especially so.

Its not about just respect for your own art, but respect for everyone else in the art form. If you wrote bad code but put in effort, you still put effort into the art, therefore its not an insult to the medium itself, and the community around it.

Furthermore, how do you expect to get better at that art when you have the easel do so much of the painting for you?
