With respect I'm not sure what you're saying follows as a challenge to what I've said. Perhaps because I didn't phrase clearly enough.
I don't think that. In fact I spent years at a company whose product let people build software backed by spreadsheets so I'm at least a little acquainted with that corner of the world :-)
The thing I'm saying is that among those who want to engage in building software via coding, I don't accept that caring about coding craft and caring about building great products that solve problems for people are opposing points on a spectrum.
If anything I'd argue the opposite, that these qualities are correlated. Again, speaking about people who are interested in building software with code.
I think the thing of building useful software with software (like spreadsheets / AI builders) while deliberately not wanting to engage with coding is a discussion apart from this. There's apparent overlap because it's true to say that those people are concerned with building useful things and not necessarily concerned with coding. But the fact they're not concerned with coding by definition puts them out the scope of the first conversation, it's just a different thing.
