"The reality is that the most basic automation is a task impossible for someone who hasn’t spent months learning to program. Automation is what computers were supposed to help humans with in the first place." When one wants to express a complex operation (say, automation) one almost resorts to language. Law, mathematics, chemistry, physics, they all use language to help them express complex ideas. How would you even express simple automation without a language. Macros? Sure, up to a point. Visual tools? Sure, up to a point. Both lead to diminishing returns for their ease use. The benefit of learning the domain language is you have fewer limitations. Computers are the future, and are the most important piece of technology that currently exists. You either learn how to use them, most effectively, or the future is not for you.
