Dissent.
The author's thesis makes a fundamental assumption: Code is now cheap.
This assumption is false.
When machine code was supplanted by assembly code, code did not suddenly become cheap. When assembly code gave way to compiled languages (COBOL, FORTRAN, Algol, Pascal, C, etc.), code again did not become cheap.
If we assume LLMs are the next step in programming (and I don't), then we've simply moved another layer out -- another layer of abstraction. But nothing will get cheaper.
