Hey, appreciate you reading the article and taking time to write this. Unsure how I am, as you say, "swinging bladed weapons around while blindfolded." Very colorful terminology, but I'm a little confused by what you mean. The "silver bullet" term you're using I'm guessing is borrowed from Mythical Man Month, where Brooks suggests that no single advance in tech within a decade provides an order of magnitude improvement in productivity. I don't think that necessarily applies to helping non-technical people vet out programmers. I think I'm more giving these people a lamp in complete darkness. I don't think brownfield projects created by great programmers are a bad thing. In fact, I've learned a lot working in brownfield projects. I do think though, a newbie programmer that, in a microcosm, creates a their own unique masterpiece loosely inspired by MVC, gets crushed by complexity and bugs, and then quits for supposed personal reasons, is a very real potential disaster for tech projects.
