I'd have to disagree; I view programming as an art similar both to music composition but also very much like painting---this may require expanding your definition of panting from the classical sense to the Dada sense of found object sculpture as a form of painting/making-your-own-paint (can't find citation, but there is a good Marcel Duchamp paper about making your own paint I was trying to find---but late for work!).
