Give me a link to it and I'll tell you what I think.
Ok, I found the chapter title in a book, but I don't have the book. I did read an interview with him where he talked about the fact that there isn't a single programming paradigm that meets all needs. By paradigm, he means design approach, like object oriented programming, structured programming etc. Some languages are so tightly associated with a single paradigm, (like LISP for example) that they cannot naturally be used to solve all problems. He sees C++ as a multi-paradigm programming language that can be used with various types of code structure.
He also talked about the desire for a silver bullet. The attitude that "If only we came up with the perfect language/paradigm, we would solve all programming problems".
I tend to agree with him that there is no one paradigm that works in all circumstances and that no matter how much time you spend learning design patterns, there will always be creativity required to solve the unique problems that one encounters.
