Reading code is harder than writing code. The author acknowledges this and pretends it means the opposite of that.

He then suggests a world where any idiot can describe a thing into existence means less individual control than scrolling through the app store and hoping someone's done what you want. Like doing a thing on your own computer means someone else gets all the money. My guy - what money?

Listen. I taught myself QBASIC using the help file. I majored in computer engineering. I've done some esoteric shit, both high-level and low-level. Fuck anyone scoffing at people making their own programs, without jumping through those hoops. These stupid objects are supposed to be a bicycle for the mind. Even children should be able to use them to the fullest possible extent.

These stupid chatbots are the closest we've come to a computer that does what you tell it to.
