Kinda a weird article to be honest. It seems less like the author is annoyed at having to learn new languages or that their language specific knowledge because less useful as time goes on, and more that they are frustrated their code doesnt live on forever.
I guess I don't particularly care if my code lives on or not. I build something. It's hopefully useful for others or myself for some period of time, then its gone.
It's just lines I've written. Why would that be more important than other lines I've written? In other careers I never thought about how my work was eventually going to be forgotten. That's just how life goes.
