It can be a flawed analysis without being propaganda and ignoring societal decline (as the definition of decline and progress itself is debatable).

I do think the fact that humans build up careers and aren't just going to roll over and stop working or switch careers when it would be prudent for society is a good thing to note. Just as career activists move from one cause to another, so too do programmers

Articles can be, sure.

This specific article is a propaganda piece, commissioned, paid for, and disseminated by The Manhattan Institute for Policy Research.

I won't argue with their right to spread their message, policies, and to engage in marketing exercises, but this is very much their work. As a matter of cold fact, not opinion.
