Article glosses over and bundles all programming into seemingly basic applications.
While AI will definitely help build and implement systems and structures, there's definitely still a need, or even more of a need to actually understand systems and their modules, as well as how they interact and operate. Further as we have more black boxes generated with input and output will become more important to have a cohesive understanding of things.
Otherwise we'll have ever growing systems that mirror Idiocracy, complex, interwoven systems that nobody can understand or maintain. Unless of course you believe whenever the LLVM coding replacements tells you everything is just fine and working well!
I now fully agree with the author's take on AI programming after read the article, though its still worth to learn programminig as of now. Only if you know the in and outs of a computer and coding logic, why this and that happen, what is under the hood etc, then you will have enough confidence and fully understand and control everything, thus more efficiency and time saving.
I regard prompt programmers are still a kind of tech debt, always a tickbomb though, of course it is a must have job class in the future.
Finally, I think only Ai achieves AGI level then the everything described in the article will be 100% true and right, imo we have to at least wait another 3-5 years to see that happen.
