I would find it easier to agree with this article if it didn't gloss over the shit quality LLM-generated code can have, nor that some of us love our craft because of how efficient and robust we are capable of making the code that we write. It's not just about blood, sweat, and tears vs a quick prompt, it's about knowing that the program that has been produced to go buy groceries isn't going to make the machine run three times around the block balancing the eggs on it's forehead before walking in the front door.

And I hate hate hate how I shudder at having written "it's not (just) X, it's Y", but I refuse to strike that form of writing from my repertoire just because today's behemoth stochastic parrots are "fond" of it.
