I actually think almost everything she’s describing is basically writing code. I remember Mitchell Hashimoto wrote this blog post saying he wished people didn’t take “infrastructure as code” literally. That “infrastructure as code” really meant something more like “infrastructure as documented specification”

In the agile spirit of “working software over comprehensive documentation” I do think the future of software engineering is writing code. Speaking through code is not a philosophy that’s going away any time soon imo. If anything, code is that much more important than it was before.
