“If code is a recipe, it's a recipe for a meal that cooks itself” --Cory Doctorow

“Code is often compared to a recipe, but speaking as someone who has diligently followed numerous recipes with disappointing results, I am here to tell you that simply because someone has provided you with detailed instructions for accomplishing some difficult task, it doesn't follow that you can actually perform that task.

Code is different. Every day, in millions of ways, I perform tasks I am completely incompetent to accomplish, simply by clicking some buttons or typing some commands into my computer. This invokes software, which then self-executes. If code is a recipe, it's a recipe for a meal that cooks itself. Every program is a little robot, imbued by its programmers with a sliver of their expertise, which it will turn into an action, on demand, endlessly.” --Cory Doctorow
