Not sure what this author is smoking..
Python 3.15 just came out with hard-won improvements to free threading and a ton of minor speedups; and thanks to incremental work over the past few releases strongly typed python is more possible than ever, letting legacy codebases be progressively retrofit. Meanwhile Rust and Go are innovating at a crazy pace to give humans AND robots amazing leverage - whole categories of risk are pre-mitigated by work done in the language - chief among them memory safety and sensible async primitives. Innovative decisions coded into the language from all three camps let things get built faster than ever before, and guess what - it's all being done by .. humans! In communities! Sharing ideas!
Lots of this stuff is being written about on blogs! By humans! Writing with keyboards for other humans.
AI hasn't affected this work; AI is a sideshow. You can do app dev with an agent, maybe, with a lot of work - but guess what, the most effective ways to use AI will only emerge from humans sharing ideas with one another.. on blogs.. in communities!
This author is an island, living in a constructed reality designed to suit their false narrative. Their article is chock full of wilful failure to see what's really happening. It is simply wrong, and loudly proudly so, and that's a real shame, because there is actually SO much good happening in software in 2026.
