Coding puts me in touch with the universe, hear me out...
The universe seems like a giant computer (especially if we're in a simulation) with data storage accessible from the outside realm. We, all of us, are modifying the data on the computer as we live our lives and make decisions and build complexity in the world.
When I code, I feel like I'm adding complexity and consequences (written in static form), not just to the real world, but in a God-like way to my own little simulation in the computer.
Not many things I can think of produce this feeling... maybe playing music.
