I think the "50x" is a little bit of a random number.

If you are already writing good code it might be hard to get any great improvement. If you are a beginner without much training /experience it might not be hard to see orders of magnitude improvement.

It might take some time though. When I have spoken to non coding people they seem to look at me like I am talking about flying to the moon. If computers are ever considered general tools and the general public every moves more towards more DIY and small business there might be more of an uptake.
