I'm not sure I agree. You seems to be suggesting that the only way to solve a problem is to write code, and that's precisely the point that that article is trying to address; That you don't always need to write code to get something done. It's the same reason why when you need to build a website you don't build a web server from scratch (unless you do in which case, godspeed).
