This is the underlying problem: the perception that programs need to become more all encompassing. It's the ultimate feature creep.

Your software is just a tiny amount of code (relative to the whole system) making up the control plane between all the pieces.
I think the author probably meant that to personally write less code you need to leverage more external code (libraries and network API's).
Write less code -> Leverage other peoples code -> More integration with different systems
