Raw coding is nonthinking work, apparently

I read this in an InfoWorld article:

People go into an offshore deal thinking it’s only the nonthinking work [they] can move offshore -- the raw coding

Wow, so writing software requires no thought?

Even if it's not required, I will continue to think about the code I write, while my primary goal remains delivering business value. Maybe there was some time when coding had nothing to do with the proper business people who do all the "real thinking", but that time has passed.
