Good article but disagree with one of the main arguments that programming is creative work.

Maybe 10% of programming is the creative part,if you're not building artificial intelligence, but for instance consumer apps or UI.

20% is reading the technology API doc to understand how it works, 50% is writing the code down and the rest is bug fixing, so not so much creativity.
