Please forgive me if I'm making the most heretical question possible, but once we reach the level of software sophistication the author hints at ("how to automate the translation of drawn sketches to good HTML and CSS") wouldn't software also be able to create and analyze mathematical theory ("conjecture, proof, and building theories")?
