Code is clay now

The author, Albert Oosterhof, draws parallels between code and clay, suggesting that just as clay can be molded and shaped into different forms, code can be similarly molded and shaped to create different outcomes. This idea is inspired by the concept of clay as a malleable material that can be transformed through the application of force, similar to how code can be altered through the application of different programming techniques or algorithms. The author argues that this comparison can help developers think more creatively about the possibilities of code and its potential to be shaped and molded to achieve different goals.
