Code is just documents or written speech, and should be regulated as such. So code vs written documents shouldn't be legally different.
So I guess a good question is: should it be illegal to tell people how to launder money? I would say no because I think laws should regulate behavior not speech.
I think for example that people should be able to make arguments why punching a Nazi should not be illegal, say, and maybe the best way to do it. But punching is clearly illegal, and threatening a Nazi directly should also be illegal.
However with abortion, some states that have made abortion illegal are trying to make it illegal to talk about where to get abortions, or how an abortion is performed. So if that is deemed legal by SCOTUS, then expect all kinds of laws to restrict speech in that manner.
