While interesting this is not the point of the article.
Point is LLM's makes this problem 1000 times worse and so it really is a ticking time bomb thats totally new - most people, most programmers, most day to day work will not include some head in the clouds abstract metaprogramming but now LLM's both force programmers to "do more" and constantly destroys anyones flow state, memory, and the 99% of the talent and skill that comes from actually writing good code for hours a day.
LLM's are amazing but they also totally suck because they essentially steal learning potential, focus and increase work pressure and complexity, and this really is new, because also senior programmers are affected by this, and you really will feel this at some point after using these systems for a while.
They make you kind of demented, and no you can't fight this with personal development and forced book reading after getting up at 4 am in the morning just as with scrolling and the decrease in everyones focus, even bibliophiles.
