We're business application/infastructure maintainers, not programmers. It's a different world from Knuth's expressions of mathematical ideas.
Outside of work, it's easy to write whole programs. Project Euler, LeetCode, etc. These are the kinds of programs Knuth is talking about -- example programs to illustrate algorithms from TAOCP.
