People tend to like discussing the differences between art and design, and point out that art serves no function while design does. I don’t know about that, but I would rather live in a world surrounded by art than surrounded by apps and ads.

My hot take is that making software design, that feels like art, is just really hard. So instead we just told each other that it can't be art, so we can all be happy and focus on our MVPs instead. The stuff andy.works does feels like art to me.
Or maybe it's just because, when people think of "art" they think of a piece by Picasso or Salvador Dali and think it can't be that.
Yeah, everyone says they craft delightful experiences but delight tends to get lost in the process.
