For me, even if the smaller portions might be mundane, its the whole itself that is a creation by me. Look at that website: I made that. That tiny wiggle animation that brings a smile to your face: I made that happen. Sure, it took me 10 minutes of googling and hunting stack-overflow to workaround some weird browser issue, but the end result is definitely creative. Its not about programming as an activity, but the end-result of the activity, which is a creation.
