programming is - I agree just programming.
The quote from Michelangelo is amusing but wrong in interpretation.
Gerard Genette puts art into two categories - immanence and transcendendence.
Michelangelo found David in this way.

I'm going to reply to this without reading the article and say:

programming is a science if you don't know art, an art if you don't
know science. but to be honest, for me it's just programming. i'll
read it now.

Is programming an art or a science? Part II.

In Part I of this 2 part series I put forth a standard argument about
how programming is a science. In this part I want to explore an argument
that says programming is an art. As I mentioned in Part I, this is a
thought that I didn’t even entertain until I was a good number of years
into my career as a programmer. At this point, maybe the argument has
some validity. I’ll let each of you make your own decision…

This topic came up recently as my oldest daughter started looking into
colleges. She is a high school senior, due to graduate in just a few
weeks. As we looked at colleges I noticed several schools giving
Bachelor of Arts degrees for computer science majors. In fact, according to this page at Wikipedia, there are many different degrees that are all
considered more or less the same. Anyway, seeing the Bachelor of Arts
degree made me think about the argument of whether programming is an art
or a science, so naturally I had to create a couple of blog entries
about it!
