Art is what you make it to be. Sometimes it can be a song, a story and maybe a banana stitched on a wall with tape. I had dinner with my friend Cheuk, who happens to be one of the best humans I have had the chance to interact with. We shared a meal at Bom-Banes, a cafe in Brighton that serves homely food. I highly recommend it; it has the best meatballs.

The lady who brought our meals was so kind, and the food was just as homely. It was a pretty chilled place. The thing that gave me joy about the place, other than the food, of course, was the storytelling. She sang songs and performed a play while balancing the house on her head. She was thrilled to share this, and although it might have been her 100th time doing so, it still brought her joy.

It got me thinking about how art can be what you make it to be. Art is subjective because the beholder determines its value, and it's excellent when millions of people adore a piece of art, but not every art can or should be. Sometimes art can look like the little canvases you painted randomly from a sip and paint party you went to, or it could also be the little clay thing you got to model, and it reminded you of something you enjoyed doing. Art is something that evokes emotion and reminds you to feel and be more human.

The four paradoxes of software development highlight the main struggles we face as software engineers, such as how a client demands a deadline for a product, yet we often fall short. Adding a new developer to an already late project makes it even later, among others. I like the article because it highlights those above and also shares some paradoxical laws.
