The article addresses that issue, its core thesis is that AI supports declarative programming. One of the author's main points is that a sufficiently intelligent compiler would rewrite code to be better optimized and have better computational complexity, eliminating low level C++ programming type jobs.
Category theory is to support the creation of specifications that are both easy to understand for a human who knows category theory and easy to optimize for the AI, compared to the original quick sort example.
The author also thinks many HTML and JS type jobs will also disappear. What I am skeptical of is that while Go, Chess and Jeopardy are challenging, they are closed domains. I think people underestimate just how much complexity building CRUD apps involves. Just like we underestimated how difficult walking to a cupboard to retrieve a mug would be for AI.
