The article argues that software has evolved into a new form of art, much like traditional disciplines such as architecture and photography. It traces the progression of various art forms from their essential uses to their current status, where aesthetics play a significant role alongside functionality. Historically, furniture, clothing, and architecture began with a focus on basic utility, but over centuries, they have embraced more inventive designs that evoke emotional responses. The piece highlights how advancements in materials and technology — like 3D printing and molecular gastronomy — have redefined these crafts, creating a new hierarchy where luxury and expertise are recognized. The author outlines a timeline for software's evolution. From 1940 to 1990, software was primarily about engineering and functionality. The period from 1990 to 2020 focused on usability, where both form and function became important. Now, since 2020, the industry has entered what the author calls the "breathtaking era," where software is not just functional but also artistic. They cite examples of beautiful software, including Linear, Notion, and Superhuman, suggesting that these represent just the beginning of a broader trend. The author emphasizes that the defining characteristics of this new software art form are its ability to push boundaries and evoke feelings, highlighting a shift toward considering software as a medium for artistic expression.
