Comment on Announcing Code Is Art by CodeIsArt
SAYS YOU!!
no really... says you. That's all there is to it. Just as you're not going to prove to me your view... I'm not expecting to push mine on you.

You could have just not commented on this news article at all then.
Just because people disagree with an article, it doesn't mean that they have to ignore it.

When a member accidently made it look like they thought Fractals were not art, look at the ruckus that kicked up!
There's a difference between contributing to the discussion, and flat out denying its validity.
You could provide your experience of code along the years, and how that relates to the viewpoint that code isn't artistic; that would be commenting.
Either way, you are just as equally valid in your own opinion that it isn't art. but I don't go into a discussion on photography and tell them that their work isn't art at all just because they pointed a piece of glass and pressed a button and science did the rest.
"It's so far away from art that it's completely the opposite of art." is called trolling, whatever forum you're on.

I figure someone would mention fractals. I strongly agree that fractals are art.
For back up, I've worked as a web developer for 5 years at [link] . I understand Javascript, HTML (and its variants), CSS, PHP, and CGI. In all my experience at looking at code, I have never once be able to see it as art. It's math and logic to me.
A photograph has subjectivity, and therefore, a wider range of things it can convey. Code, has only one strict linear function to show. There's no room for interpretation. Even though, in my view of art, not every photograph is art. Some are so direct (a contemporary family photo) that it serves the purpose of displaying people, and not much else.
I hardly think that what I'm doing is trolling. Just because I disagree, it doesn't mean I'm trolling. It wasn't like I was looking for news articles to pick on. And, if I was trolling, I doubt I would have put this much effort into a post.

Thanks for sharing this interesting comment. I think in this thread there are some nice points of view that make it worth reading, even if we agree or disagree.
Thanks 
Isn't that why there are comments on a news article? To discuss it? Or is it just so people can spam emotes?
