Discussion on: Should code be like poetry?

Well, I don't like the word poetry used to describe source code, but at the same time I really do believe that there is a place for art in being software engineer and crafting code in general.

So probably poetry was meant to be used in place of art, which I do agree with.

So art (or poetry) can be used to describe the act of creating:

A good piece of code that you can read without comments and that it's immediately obvious why it's been written, how it's elegant.
