Very strange idea. A programmer (= software developper) should try to code less. Ideally not code at all.
This idea is similar to "simplified languages", like Basic. Languages for children. Why don't we have also simplified mathematics? Only the numbers from 1 to 5. Will be easier to learn...
The author is not aware that his proposal means going back to things like RPG. The old and abandoned Report Program Generator. Was not a language, was a fixed cycle program with some variable parameters.
He could go a little bit more back, to unit record equipment.
He didn't understand the importance, historical, technical and intellectual of the universality of programming languages.
What happened to software? Why is there so few creative software (2010)? Are we at the end of software? What are the forces which led to this situation, looking like a bit step backward to the epoch of non-programmable accounting machines? Is there a way out of this situation? Yes, and a very simple one: make good software. With invention. Developing models and abstractions. It is difficult but absolutely possible. It this re-start of software I wish to explore here in this blog. Welcome
