As a non professional programmer I much prefer the way you think about this than the author. Rarely ever do I find myself programing for the sake of programming, it's always to serve some goal, to make some thing, fix some problem. If I write the worst code, in the worst way, and it still makes the light flash or the robot arm move, etc, then i succeeded. I make heavy usage of the MIT Android app maker thing in my arduino and esp32 projects, and I'll be the first to admit that I use it so heavily because I have some minimal grasp of it and I've wrapped my head around most of its paradigms. I'll admit that because I've only got a hammer, every problem is a nail, but taking away my hammer because im using it wrong just means I cant build anything.
