I thought it's interesting that GPT5's comments (on prompting it for feedback on the article) seem to overlap with some of the points you guys made:

   My [GPT5's -poster's note] take / Reflections
   
   I find the article a useful provocation: 
   it asks us to reflect on what we value in being programmers.
   
   It’s not anti-AI per se, but it is anti-losing-the-core craft.
   
   For someone in your position (in *redacted* / Europe) 
   it raises questions about what kind of programming work you want: 
   deep, challenging, craft-oriented, or more tool/AI mediated.
   
   It might also suggest you think about building skills 
   that are robust to automation: e.g., architecture, 
   critical thinking, complex problem solving, domain knowledge.
   
   The identity crisis is less about “will we have programmers” and 
   more “what shapes will programming roles take”.
