I have a fascination with fractals and believe that the great codebases are beautiful fractals. For example; a typical webpage is made up of various cards for different sections and a developer shall arrange them with proper spacing and manipulate cards' content. Further, each card, each small animation on the card is built by doing a smaller version of the same exercise. Diving deeper; one shall reach the code which makes the fonts & dots appear on the screen, which is again the similar exercise like CSS + HTML (in form of vector-images).

Similar observations can be made about:

• APIs: which are built on top of APIs.
• Compiler: They are built by themselves. And can grow new features which are represented in patterns of old features.
• The linux operating system is a massive fractal of packages; which are built by assembling smaller ones.
• The concept of layering in networking is a very regular & well formed fractal!
• The deeper you zoom into code for a GET request --> firmware on motherboard; there is a similar pattern of bits being munged in the computing architecture.
• Is it just me; or the very nature of neural networks' layers are arranged like a fractal?
