@HanzBrix, not really. Instead of bolting together libraries, usually you could write a few lines of code that does what needs to be done. Chuck Moore had a lot to say about never using or writing libraries. You also get sucked into using someone else's ideas and data layout, which may completely alter how you do things. And in the end, not understanding the lower levels leads to bad software.
Worse yet are frameworks, where you cannot understand lower _and_ higher levels.
@undefined -- it's an art, and quickly becoming a lost art. Engineering is sometimes required, but getting a feel for the code is different. Good code writes itself, with you as a conduit.
As a musician, I enjoy making music in a way that's hard to describe. It takes a lot of skill and repetition as well as understanding theory, but in the end it is an art. Replacing an artist with a tape deck just not the same, except for those who cannot hear or appreciate subtlety of expression.

Well, you can not expect every corporate database to be a work of art, so yes, it's a spectrum.
We use paint to spray sides of buildings, and to make portraits. A painter can mean either, but somehow it is more confusing here.
