In reality that is a waterfall process disguised as programming advice. What that is saying is that if only you really specified in a clear technical language the code, you wouldn't need to write much of it. It's like his version of UML. But it all boils down to what we know doesn't work, a waterfall development process. But worse still, it's a waterfall process where no-one outside a small clique, those who can speak the special language, can join in the design process.
