The relevant question for a politician shouldn't be "Can they program?" but rather "Can they program in a way that produces enough value to a company per day to justify a wage that the person can live off?".

One limiting factor in that calculation might be not just the speed/skill of the programmer, but the number of companies with such positions available.

You have no clue how many times I've wanted to program through voice commands.

I think one day we'll get there.

You think programming is only about learning syntax?
