What can you actually do with programming? (lemmy.world)

So recently I've stumbled upon a video, where a guy creates an animation by programming it with maanim.

And after that I also found a way to create music with programming too.

So I'm wondering.. What else can you actually create using programming? Besides the obvious software, VR, AR and all that

Personally?

I generally use programming to turn artistic concepts and countless hours into regret and failure in an ever increasing pile of abandoned projects.

Well, I'm quite lazy as a person, so I have a lot more of not yet started projects then not finished ones

I think I'm gonna move the goalpost on my life goals a bit.

New Life goal: Have more started projects than projects relegated to the ideas drawer.
