@glyph @be @jalefkowit I can tell you a bunch of ways it's different!
The economics and attention and reason people participate is much different — there's people who approach both similarly, but by and by large they operate very differently.
And ultimately you can, mostly automatically, check if code works. The cost is low. For knitting someone has to MAKE it, and discover it late. The cost in human time is much higher
And the vendors around knitting and the vendors around programming are very very different and have different incentives.
