I agree with him when he says computers should be smarter, more intelligent. I am working on a project that explores this idea. You would probably put it as programming a computer by communicating with it. Balancing preemption with annoyance.

On the other hand, I also still think everyone should learn to program as it is good for your brain, aids in learning/exploring extremely abstract mathematical concepts and is practical. Somewhere between the usefulness of basic math skills and either advanced grammar skills or elementary physics.
