> At that point you’re programming. It may not be the same as coding in a traditional language, but isn’t it effectively the same process? You’re having to lay out all the exact steps to take when different things happen.
No, it isn't.
Programming is thinking deeply about
- the invariants that your code obeys
- which huge implications a small, innocent change in one part of the program will have for other, seemingly unrelated parts of the program
- in which sense the current architecture is (still) the best possible for what the program does, and if not, what the best route is to get there
