I feel dumber after reading this article. So much, that my own human net of neurons can't figure out or explain why.

A partial explanation is that I dont like the assumption that once work is being performed at higher and higher abstracted layers, that machine hardware, OS kernels, compilers and linkers, package and dependency managers, and all other systems software supporting high level programming paradigms (including AI based methods) are going to fall in line at the application layer.

I think the quality on Hacker News would benefit from more people being able to downvote. At least take away people's right to upvote if they have no right to downvote. It seems to me there's missing a balance if we can't downvote a story that turns out to be lower quality than what it appeared to be.
