Not really in the way the comparison means it. Code was malleable with big force (mandays of manual coding to change something). Now it's malleable with "change this to do that" on an LLM.
In the analogy, the former is more like a stone is also "malleable" (you can take a chisel to it after all), but much less than clay, and is a much more manual process.
