Okay thank you, I didn't really got that from the article, it makes a lot more sense now. As I see it now the author is saying using maths as an example that what the world needs is not programmers, but rather mathematicians, physicists, biologists, … who can make use of programming in addition to their field's knowledge to solve problems. This is true and I agree, but I'll add that to make programming advance as a tool for everyone to use, we also need computer scientists who can make use of programming in addition to their field's knowledge to solve problems, and that's what I was talking about in my previous comment.
