To some extent the IT industry is predicated on people being too unmotivated (for whatever reasons) to learn to program. (Something I've never understood. Programming is the best video game?)
Now that the computers can talk...
That’s not to say you can’t give areas with guardrails to non-software-engineering-professionals if you can teach them git.
Well, sure, it's under-specified, I said "unmotivated (for whatever reasons)", eh?
I agree with you. When it comes to programming computers it's one of the few areas where I am unabashedly elitist ( https://sforman.srht.site/AnyoneCanCode.html "For most people learning anything more complicated than Excel is counter-productive." )
My point is that it's not that hard to learn to program, not that it's easy to program well (it's not. I've been at it for over a quarter of a century and I'm still barely capable.)
My additional point is that the barrier to entry (other than apathy or disinterest) is the complexity (just to make a website you need to know three or four computer languages!?)
My third point is that that complexity is about to vanish in a haze of linear algebra and massive data (the computers can talk now.)
