Is this a rebuttal to something. Although I agree with it, I don't know what aspects are really in question. I'd be curious to know what prompted this.

My naive guess is that this is in response to the recent release of GitHub Copilot. There was a lot of surrounding discussion about whether we were approaching a future where human developers are unnecessary. Feels a bit late to be responding to that so I’m not sure.

could also be a response to the more recent OpenAI Codex model.

The purpose of most people on medium seems to be advertising themselves in a slightly less transparent way than Linkedin.

So the question that prompted this was likely "What can I write on Medium?"
