An awful lot of problems can in fact be solved by 'more code' in fact. People seem to straw man this in terms of product feature surface.

A lot of places skip creation and maintenance of decent observability - that's code.

We can now easily use advanced, code heavy testing techniques like property testing - code.

We can create environmental simulations to speed up and improve integration testing - code.

We can lift up internal abstraction levels, replace boiler plate with frameworks, DSLs - code.
