I'm also sceptical about pix2code, but the point is that domain specific automation could consevably reduce the number of overall jobs. The cost of switching domains is also non negligible.
The question with domain specific automation (and one of my takeaways from the article) isn't whether or not you'll have a job, but if the effort your put into getting your current job is worthwhile.

Programmers can usually pickup the next ambitious project (e.g. a sales bot) when the old domain is no longer profitable. I think Bartosz is saying that Math and Category theory is useful to learn because it works in a number of subdomains. It can help keep the domain switching cost down somewhat.
