Will this tend to blur the distinction between coder and manager? In the end a manager is just a coder who commands more resources, and relies more on natural language to do it.
Or maybe I'm thinking of tech leads. I don't know, my org is flat.
Issue is not writing code. Its changing, evolving or maintaining it.
This is the problem with things like Spreadsheets, dag-drop programming, code generators.
Its not easy to tell a program what to change and where to change.

I feel like you might be moving the goalposts. Maybe they're different problems, but it's not at all clear to me that mutation is harder than creation.
