I would argue that spelling is a prerequisite for writing a novel.
Defining programming as just syntax is nonsense. The SHOUTED IS (like we're on AOL again for some reason) places outsized emphasis on syntax. Either that it is "just syntax" as randomdata wrote or the majority of programming as the SHOUTED IS could also imply, makes no sense. Just creating a syntactically valid program is insufficient for creating a correct or useful program, just as correctly spelling a string of words is not enough to create a novel.
I challenge you to write me “correct and useful program” without syntax.
Be mindful, the natural language you use to communicate with llms also, brace yourself, has syntax.

I present to you finnegans wake. ;P
“This program, print the numbers from 1 to 10 in python”
In order to run my simple program just copy paste it into your LLM, of choice and execute it
Notice that the program does what it supposed to do it is deterministic unless you use something like gpt2 and it solves the problem that I aim to solve
