It feels like it wasn't written by anyone who knows much about the actual nature of programming computers.

As others have pointed out, the desire to build things without coding knowledge has always been there, and there will always be a place for it. An ice cream shoppe should probably use Squarespace instead of hiring a coder for thousands more.

However, until we have sufficient AI, executives will always request features that can't be achieved with whatever no-code building blocks are available. Contrary to others, I do think there will come a day where the human computer programmer is completely obsolete, but we are definitely not there yet.
