Informatics is like music

I compared the world of computing with the world of music. You can find the nonsense here.

One thought on “Informatics is like music”

  1. Then again, it’s quite cliche that analogies break down and aren’t a good way to understand the world anyway. :) Unlike an orchestral score, which is normally written monolithically by a single composer, a complete U*ix system is often comprised of several programs from diverse parts of the world. (Well, unless you’re talking about something like OpenBSD.) Not sure of the ramifications of this though.
