I love how this article tries to equivocate with statements like this one: In the end, far more people will be able to program without knowing code. They’ll just need good higher-level design thinking so they can clearly, logically explain the computer’s task. Apparently these folks haven't figured out that the language humans use to "clearly, logically explain the computer's task" is called code. I don't imagine that programming as we know it will remain unchanged forever, but one of the greatest accomplishments of this era of computing is that we did create any system for clearly, logically explaining the computer's task. I find it annoying that this article downplays that achievement, going so far as to suggest that we shouldn't teach kids to code. Y'know, because the last 60 years of prognostications of "we'll have thinking machines in 5 years!"[1] have worked out so well.
