MVC - What a web app and a Mozart Violin Concerto have in common
summary
Claims that Mozart’s Sonata Allegro form maps to app structure, that algorithms are the melodies (horizontal flow) and stacks/containers (Node Postgres Docker) form the vertical harmony, and that the practical goal is apps that run in tune on time. Uses concrete parallels: musical excerpts vs code, mentions React/Ember/Vue, Node, Postgres, Docker, Watson, load balancers and caching, cites Mozart’s ~600 completed works as a productivity benchmark, and argues the approach yields more reliable, user‑transparent products.
