Are Programming Solutions Inherent?
If you give two programmers the same problem—it depends on the problem, but problems of a more mathematical nature, they can often end up writing the same code. Subject to just formatting issues and relabeling the variables and the function names, it's isomorphic—it's exactly the same algorithms. Are we creating these things or are we just pulling the cobwebs off?
Notes:
Joe Armstrong suggests that programming solutions are isomorphic when tackling the same problems.
