    I don’t think anything is black or white in programming (except booleans). And I’d say it can be very much emotional, it just depends on your goal and how you reach it. For me, I’d say programming is like painting or wood carving. It’s a tool that can be used to create art.

      if you dig deep into hardware you’ll learn that theres no such thing as a pure 1 or 0. check out an eye diagram of a bit error rate test.

      You’re right, I can say that’s fair that it’s a tool. But there are craftsman that build something useful and artists that make worlds. While programming can be both types of artists, they lean heavily towards craftsman that have rules.
