Writing code and making commits is only a part of my work. I also have to know ODEs/DAEs, numerical solvers, symbolic transformations, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, dynamic systems, controls theory etc. So basically math and physics.
LLMs are rather bad at those right now if you go further than trivialities, and I believe they are not particularly good at code either, so I am not concerned. But overall I think this is somewhat good advice, regardless of the current hype train: do not be just a "programmer", and know something else besides main Docker CLI commands and APIs of your favorite framework. They come and go, but knowledge and understanding stays for much longer.
