I don't fully agree with this.
If you're writing a video game for example, the emotional authenticity and character building would be equivalent to cohesive mechanics which work well together, graphical quality / aesthetics, even story and level design all require programming to one degree or another. The same can be said for other types of programs like meeting business needs, but I think the video game analogy illustrates the point best.
In other words, the authenticity and character building is how well you're fulfilling the purpose or goal that you set out to accomplish.

The mom is not too different from one's wife who does not code, but always will look at the husband's poorly written code in spare time with awe and love.
Programming is just writing... No difference whatsoever...
That is, if you want an effective product.
The thing is in programming there is no such “Mom” whose approval will validate the program. It will either run and do it’s job or not. Whereas in writing, you will at least always have your mother in the audience that will say “Sure sweety That’s a novel”
