If you're not coding in assembly you're not a real programmer vibes there.
Really? I got "if you don't understand the code you're producing, then that's a real problem, not just for you but for software development as a whole".

I don't think that was their vibes.
From article:
the point is not to let ourselves be replaced by AIs, but to use them to improve ourselves and our productivity
My take:
The role of the programmer is ultimately to solve the problems. There are many ways to skin the cat. The better solutions comes from the better programmers.
Bosses under capitalism have less understanding of the pros/cons of a particular solution. Hence they will often use their decision making powers to choose the quick solution rather than the best.
I mean that's been the case all along, that's why most software is janky. The problem isn't technology itself, it's capitalist relations and the way technology ends up being applied as a result.
