The author believes that as technology advances, we should stop resisting progress in programming languages like Bubble, which aim to abstract away more code from the end user, simplifying software creation. They argue that while engineers are needed for building complex applications, not everyone who wants to innovate online needs to be an engineer. The author suggests that engineers should focus on being "code mechanics" rather than requiring users to understand the underlying code. This allows for a broader range of people to create and innovate online, putting power in the hands of those who are not necessarily skilled programmers.
