Absolutely this. Code should tell a story, the functions and objects you use are defined by the context of the story at that level of description. If you have to translate between low-level operations to reconstruct the high level behavior of some unit of work, you are missing some opportunities for useful abstractions.

Coding at scale is about managing complexity. The best code is code you don't have to read because of well named functional boundaries. Natural language is our facility for managing complexity generally. It shouldn't be surprising that the two are mutually beneficial.
