Almost seems like it could be the poetics of coding. There is an artistic and creative category as well.

From the site:

"Perfection is achieved not when you have nothing more to add,
but when you have nothing left to take away."

Reminds me of the comparison between programming and sculpture that gets made at one point in The Bug (p. 72).
