To add a more substantive example to the conversation: do you really think the developer of Photopea built an entire Photoshop clone in the browser by mashing keys on his keyboard randomly? You think there was no choice in the development of a project like that?
> * if you do deliberately choose something, but your choice fails to produce a meaningful result, that's not programming - there's no order.
Do you think the client side developers behind something like Google Docs have failed to "produce a meaningful result"?
You've come up with an interesting set of criteria, but you have nothing to apply it to. That's why your original comment was flagged, and referred to as posturing.
