While I've definitely seen the trap you're describing, this isn't it. This is less "solving a social problem with technology" and more "anyone could code if only they didn't need to learn those pesky programming languages". Which is odd to see coming from an engineer who should understand that a programming language is just a precise specification of behavior. I guess the main thought in the blog post is that you don't need to actually specify your problem domain because an LLM can infer the details from context and its training data? Which may be true (at some point) but still doesn't make English a good programming language.
