Programming is an art. Ideas have to be creative.

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...

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.

Depends on the programmer!

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.

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.

Very nice explanation!

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!

Yes; at least it is for me as I'm the one that gets to decide what to do and how to do it. It's the part of the job I love the most, even after all these years. :-)
