That's a goal for me as well. The Zachtronics "design puzzle" games are considerably more interesting (to me) than most standard "program a robot" games. Some others of possible interest:

Hack 'n' Slash is a game about applying debugging/hacking tools to itself. https://store.steampowered.com/app/246070/Hack_n_Slash/

Human Resource Machine and 6 Billion Humans are fairly simple as programming goes, but the UI and debugging experience are nicely polished. https://store.steampowered.com/app/375820/Human_Resource_Mac...

Baba Is You, arguably, it made me think a lot about puzzle game mechanics. https://store.steampowered.com/app/736260/Baba_Is_You/

Shameless self promotion, PrograMaze is a little puzzle I made. https://gashlin.net/games/programaze/
