Thanks Saksham, that is nice to hear! Did you ever read Paul Grahams original piece about Hackers and Painters?
I was not sure how well known this esstay was. Honestly I don't recall it that well anymore. I just reacted to the negativity around using analogies.
It may be true that it seems pompous of a hacker to liken himself to a great painter, but I also don't think the analogy is broken.
My wife is a knitter and a historian, so analogies is something I often have to come up with to try to explain my work. I love analogies ;-)
