> in programming you do new things more often

Only if you don't do new things often outside of programming. Everything certainly is fiddly and anything new you do is going be technical if you care about doing it well. I spent half a day last week learning to paint-fill engraving to make labeling. Conceptually it was trivial (coat with paint, wipe off excess, sand back when dry) but there was still plenty of nuance.
