-on mobile so I apologize in advance for bad grammar and typos I don't think the author understands the purpose of the project. Google wants more coders. As a company Coders are likely one of Google's largest expense (At my Job staffing is 25% developers, and staffing is ~80% of our current budget). Does Google necessarily need more developers writing code? No, however they could use more people who can code to solve the small problems they face daily. I think it's more likely we'll have people writing code informally, and as a small part of their overall job. >Writing code will become less and less necessary, making software development more accessible to everyone. I agree with that sentiment, however I fail to see the link between more accessible development and fewer people writing code. This process has been happening for years. >The real benefit of something like Project Bloks is that it actually removes the code. But is that new? What if something more advanced is needed? Excel is a good example of writing code for a job. Access is an example of programming without writing code (it's sql with a GUI). Both tools are popular however people have a hard time doing advanced things. This is also perhaps due to the high price of creating the building block interface/software cost. By thinking logically, people may not write code formally, they may not write any code: however it will encourage people to create solutions to the problems most applicable to them. Maybe their solution is 90% the blocks provided by their program. 10% code they wrote so handle their edge case. Perhaps it's something they only engage in one day a month. In the end I think we'll see more code, more people writing code, and programs with more handling of the common tasks as building blocks but the ability to write code for the complex parts and plug it in where needed.
