Too Long; Didn't Read
Programmers rarely agree on whether or not coding is a creative profession. This post is rather about people who identify with the term creative coder. Creative coders are interested in how they can express themselves creatively with technology. Tools like Processing and OpenFrameworks allow for especially dynamic and immersive art to be created, from moving and morphing fractals to particles replicating the flocking of birds or cell division, the sky is the limit for what kind of art creative coders can make. Some coders may or may not be software engineers in their day job.
