Do you mean the perspective that he is a "glorified TSA agent" or that he doesn't like it? Because in this thread it seems that some people agree but they just like it :)
I disagree the opportunities created for software engineers are reduced to those of a "glorified TSA agent".
We now have more opportunity than ever to create more of the things we have wanted to. We are able to spend more time leaning into our abilities of judgement, creativity, specific knowledge, and taste.
Countless programming frustrations are gone. I, and all those I talk to are having more fun than they have ever had.
I'm still not sure what analogy fits for me. It's closer to product manager/maestro/artist/architect/designer that helps a number of amazing systems create great code.
