Is Programming a creative Job?

Is Programming a creative Job? I have been thinking creatively, but my work doesn't need it.
Depends on what your role is: if you are a codemonkey churning out code to exact specification with no design input, then no, it isn't - and creativity will be rightly stamped on. If you are higher up the food chain, then it becomes increasingly creative, and increasingly technical, until the technical element starts to wither away and you become a manager. At that point you will never do anything creative (or possibly useful) ever again.

I mainly have to follow analyses somebody else made (usually the boss and user together). The analysts are creative, we are just putting their idees into code. It becomes creative some time when it becomes to "invent" new controls, so most of them are already pre cooked.
The signature is in building process.. Please wait...

Programming is an art. Ideas have to be creative.

Bear in mind that if someone says to you "That's a very creative idea", it means that he thinks you're an idiot.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
You put that very creatively.

My missus doesn't understand what I do. The best way I've found to explain it to her is that a programming language is like a written language. Once you know the majority of words in a language you can write a book. Some books are good and some are poor.

One needs to be creative to find a solution to a problem; and one needs to be a scientific to implement it in an optimized way with an appropriate process.

I don't know how it cuts in comparison to other jobs, but people here are extremely creative when it comes to excuses why their work will be delivered late.

Others take their new found skill in creating macaroni pictures too far and try to build houses out of them which then need rebuilding with the occupants still inside. That's what it feels like anyway :D

Not as creative as accountancy!
It's well known that if all the cat videos and porn disappeared from the internet there would be only one site left and it would be called whereareallthecatvideosandporn.com

Hi, Everything make creative...Just need to lookup with a different senario... If you like programming then you can creative work for you. Ya In your office it may be repetitive job so that you are feeling like that. BUT Just analysis again & you can find lot of way to do this.... :) :)
