> People waiting for "the breakthrough" that suddenly makes programming easy and available to all are kidding themselves. As others have said there's inherent complexity to programming and solving problems that can't be wished away with paradigm changing strategerized facilitations utilized by flow-optimized programmerators or whatever the secret code knowledge suppressed by scientists was prescribing.

I totally agree with you and would go so far as to say there's probably a kind of upper bound to the rate at which a human can translate an original idea in their head into an unambiguous logical construct of the kind which can be executed by a computer.

However, I would also say that the narrowest bottleneck in this process is the rate at which someone can comprehend the current state and structure of a given program, and I would say that anything that tries to improve on the status quo of text files in a directory is pretty cool.
