Yeh, it is kinda sad really. A good engineer/software developer's job is to make things work, simplify them, and get out of the way. It is creative but you also painfully remove yourself from style in the software (other than simpicity, minimalism etc).
If you have a creative side sometimes you need to let it out other ways. The backend is very forgetting.

Sure an software engineer can be like an artist, but preferably not a starving one.
