When I read this particular toot out of context (because someone boosted it) I read it as expressing frustration with programming tooling — a lack of ways for regular people to express their ideas in code.
I have thoughts on this, but when I read your entire thread I realized you were complaining about software design — in terms of APIs and other interfaces to functionality.
And right there is the core of my thoughts on enabling non-coders to code… If *we* can't get it right?
