Preventing syntax errors/abstracting syntax is probably the most important piece.

A picture is worth a 1000 words. Imagery can be simpler to understand for non techies. The more who understand, the more are included in the solution.

It does not replace those thousand words. I challenge you to share one picture which replaces a 10-word bash script.

Challenge accepted, any preference for the 10 word bash script?

Ok, here's my attempt with a bit of python code: https://flowhub.org/f/91197129247b83b8

It's more than 10 words and definitely inconclusive as to whether Python or image is more explanatory. The only good thing is that the image is Node-RED "code" and can actually be executed in Node-RED.

You can explain and explore complex concepts and designs with folks that aren’t programmers where there would otherwise be a gap.

That gap is not filled with images.
