With respect to the OP, code != blueprints. IMO, code == bricks. But bricks are just one piece of the puzzle of building a house, just as much as the blueprints are just one piece of that same puzzle. I just disagree which piece they are. Other than that, this seems to be a reasonable response on the subject from an experienced developer to someone who hasn’t been in the business as long.
