But I don't agree that programing SHOULD be a creative task. The primary reason being that A creative tasks' output depends quite a bit on the person performing the task. Whereas for an engineering task, less so - as long as the engineer is trained, knowledgeable etc, etc (usual caveats for pedants..) >But that won't happen just by standardizing structure. The structure still holds content which has to adapt to those business goals etc. I agree, but i'm thinking along the lines of - more LEGO, less literature. I.e. A move towards a more standardized problem specification process that itself becomes the solution, or at the very least through minimal effort.
