It’s applied problem solving. I often think of programming as invisible legos that you put together that build some sort of Rube Goldberg machine. At many times during the process the formation isn’t expressed in code yet, so it’s up to the mind of the programmer to keep the pieces fitting together as intended until the code can be written and take a little bit of the lift from the programmers brain to expressed code.
