Getting a joint right when making furniture from wood requires a lot of logic and precision, probably more than coding in my experience.
But this is the difference between "art" and "craft". The art is deciding what to build, how it should look and feel. This part is imprecise and emotional. It depends more on talent than practice, and is the bit that needs a muse or inspiration.
The craft bit is building it. This part is logical, precise, and needs to be done competently so it doesn't obscure the "art" part (great art can be ruined by bad craft, but good craft with no art is just boring). This needs lots and lots of practice.
This duality applies to writing, coding, sketching, music, movies, any creative practice.
