Your assertion makes way more sense than the article, and might explain why I see many excellent programmers be so averse to AI. The value of an individual programmer goes down even though the value of programming increases. The 10x scribes were probably also pretty dubious of the printing press, even though it made writing more accessible and valuable.

(Also me of two months ago would be shocked at how bullish I've become on LLMs. AI is literally the printing press... get a grip, me!)

I think the takeaway is we need a specialization beyond coding. Coding is part of the job, not the whole thing.
