Everyone is saying that LLMs will kill programmers.

The author here has the right idea, and the correct historical context to back it up.

Generative AI will 10x (at least) the number of people that program computers, but that programming will look different than it does today.

Gone are the semicolons and curly braces we’re so used to, just like BEQ and JMP before them.

Truly gone? No, the next Rollercoaster Tycoon has yet to be built :)

Good point! A car built 10 years ago is very different from a car built today, but it's still a car, right?

Some people like old cars, others prefer Teslas, and that's perfectly fine.

The world will change, and that's not a bad thing.
