Igor Stravinsky wrote in his Poetics of Music: "My freedom will be so much the greater and more meaningful the more narrowly I limit my field of action and the more I surround myself with obstacles. Whatever diminishes constraint diminishes strength. The more constraints one imposes, the more one frees one's self of the chains that shackle the spirit". So yeah, I think coding is an art, especially because of things like design patterns, rules, and the like.
