If you like a sort of weakly-typed version of Python or PHP, use Go. As the article points out it can be good for web forms. Not all development is web forms.

There seems to be a category of "coder" which fits the other commenter's description, where someone else makes all the significant decisions and they just write the code. Not coincidentally, that category seems most at risk f

I'm about to blow your mind with a simple phrase: correlation is not causation. Seriously though, you have an unsupported belief and you're looking to cherry-pick ways to support it. It's not rational.

Functionally, i.e. focusing only input and output, a model can certainly discover an idea. That’s not anthropomorphism. Similarly, people often object to using words like “reasoning” and “understanding” in relation to models, but again, fun

Another thing they’re often poor at is making an incorrect assumption and then going down a rabbit hole trying to unnecessarily solve for it. Without a discerning human in the loop, you can end up with large amounts of unnecessary output.
