I find the author shows a lot of assurance in stating that assembler coders didn’t felt their skill atrophying when going to fortran. I am pretty certain that, apart from the writing style, the exact same complaints where made at the time. I would add that no one learns assembler anymore – and that’s a problem. It will be the same with coding – people that know how to code will become very very valuable. I don’t think they will disappear hence. I don’t disagree on AI being a massive revolution though, but maybe not so much in software development. Education and most of all, the art, are the most impacted in my view.
