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

I can make a hat, or a brooch, or a pterodactyl...

It's too much of an open question. Like asking what can you make with steel, or stone.

The only real limits are the hardware and your imagination.

I like to reply to overly open questions with: "How long is a string?"
