If code is just logic made visible, does that mean emotion and a human touch has no place in computer science? 

It would be naive to believe that programming is just logic. On the surface, it’s clean, structured, and exact. But behind every program is a person trying to make something work, trying to solve a problem that matters to them. That drive comes from varied emotions – curiosity, frustration, excitement, even obsession. The beauty of computing isn’t just in precision; it’s in the moments of chaos before clarity, when you’re experimenting, failing, and suddenly finding a solution. Machines can follow rules perfectly, but it’s emotion that makes us question those rules, imagine new ones, or visualise the final result where others see syntax. Even innovation itself often begins with a feeling – the sense that “this could be better.” or “this is possible”. Programs are made with a purpose by human beings for human beings, which makes all of this process inherently human. So yes, code might be logic made visible, but emotion is what makes it worth writing. Without that human spark, computer science would just be math – not magic. And maybe that’s the secret difference between a program that merely runs and one that truly creates impact. In the end, logic gives computers their structure, but emotion gives computer scientists their purpose. It’s what keeps us curious, restless, and endlessly willing to try again – until the logic finally feels right.
