I guess I was too broad and pessimistic. By "code does not matter" I meant that it's not worth it to micro-optimize and dig into unnecessary details. It's fine if it's not perfect and has its rough edges, as long as it works correctly and looks as intended.

And I agree that programming is the art! I love it and I haven't given up on it. I just decided that it's better to focus on new and interesting problems.
