I provided zero depth of reasoning.

Coding is as much a method of investigating and learning about a problem as it is any sort of specification. It is as much play as it is description. Somebody who views code as nothing more than a formal specification that tells a computer what to do is inhibiting their ability to play imaginatively with the problem space, and in the work that I do, that is absolutely critical.



> zero reasoning

Yes.

> inhibiting play

Strongly disagree. The more abstraction layers you can see across, the bigger your toolbox and the more innovative your solutions to problems can be.
