Code is data and any data that specifies business processes and defines their outcome is code.

If you can't iterate on the specification of business at the speed business itself needs to change, that's a problem, but it's a process problem, not something inherent in specifying business process in code.

Configuration is still code, but maybe in a non-Turing-complete language (but maybe not, depending on where we are in the cycle of configuration fashions at the moment.)
