possible

I suspect the tools continue to become more abstract and higher leverage and accessible to more people. Someone like my wife who we wouldn't describe as technical might be able to design software that she wants without touching any code. So there's a process of expressing a thought in more structured specification, but she probably never has to actually touch code to achieve a lot of what would require a developer today. Developers of today might uplevel and mostly focus on building/improving the systems she's using.

It's a new form of being technical. The same way I can write software, but never think about flipping electrical signals in silicon.

Everyone Builds Software

And then, little by little, your wife transforms into technical.  (Maybe.)  If you can grow actual technical capacity by a series of tiny baby steps, maybe that changes how people approach technology and how they inhabit the world.

Or maybe not.  It's a hypothesis.
