From childhood, people are taught the definition of creativity as musical notes, paint strokes on canvas or rhyming couplets, but never chemicals in beakers, worksheets full of numbers, or parts of a motherboard. This socially-defined concept of creativity is misleading; it highlights those who write in verse, but never those who write in code.
