I feel the same way I think. These days, I am happy when I am able to use GPT4 to complete a task faster or easier, but am also happy when I write some code "by myself".
However, as far as the conclusion of the article. This "age" started only a few months ago. If you are going to call it an age, then the conclusion doesn't hold up. In the long term, programming "by hand" is likely to be similar to wood carving today. It will be an artistic rather than utilitarian pursuit.
There are already multiple services and tools being built with the purpose of writing, deploying, and maintaining software in a 100% automated way using GPT3.5 and GPT4 and natural language specifications. I am building one of them.
We can't assume that these recent efforts to freeze the progress of AI will be successful. So we should anticipate very significant improvements in performance over the next few years.
Very shortly, everyone will realize that it is quite a huge waste of time and money to wait for a person to write code.
