Programmers are not artists

True. Mostly.

and have no "creative block".

False (with a possible exception for mindless code monkeys, if such actually exist). It's not hard to get stuck on a wrong approach to a problem, or to know you're doing something wrong but not quite why it's wrong, or to have your mind go blank when you're trying to solve something.

I spent my college years writing very little code. Burnt out; too busy; depressed? I don't know; but I was blocked. Previous to college I had written thousands of lines per year, since junior high school.

So call it what you will. But it happens.

I think he means like gardeners or mathematicians do not have "creative block".
