You don't find coding similar to solving puzzles in any way?

  IMO coding is to solving puzzle the same way as any other discipline (from people management to architecture) is to solving puzzles

  Not really. And I think that's mostly due to the lack of constraints in most programming jobs. I don't have to think about throughput or optimizing op codes or almost anything else because our machines have absurd amounts of compute and more memory than most hard drives I've had in my life, the networks are broad and fast, and there's a commercial solution for most of the hard problems. Maybe I'd think differently if I worked on microcontrollers, but my brief foray into Arduinos and Raspberry Pies didn't feel that much different. I mean, I was using Python on the Arduino. I felt more constrained by the pins than anything else - another problem with several well explored solutions.

  Not at all. I’ve hated puzzle games all my life. Most likely because they’re artificial.
