Coding is often seen as technical/deterministic as the makers are often technical, and so the mediun is typically used in a fashion that affords scaling and regularity. There is nothing inherently deterministic about coding as a medium of expression; the fact that the basis is binary doesn't decrease the power of expression we can wield vis-a-vis analog media. Of course there are constraints of the tooling; but whether you are inherently building something that it makes sense to compare to a puzzle is entirely up to you as a creator.
