No, LLM evangelists will not be willing to admit this in general,

no, you, as an LLM evangelist, are not not willing to admit this?
You can stop questioning yourself early whether you are a good programmer just by realizing you code in python.
Came here to comment on this line: it completely changes the tone of the article. It's fairly reasonable and neutral until we get here, upon which the antagonism is jarringly clear.
In fact I would posit this is the central crux of the post: OP does not believe those LLM evangelists were ever good programmers.
As others have already noted[1], many well-known excellent programmers - including yourself! and now even Linus! - would beg to differ.
I do wonder if C programmers ever asked that of Python devs back in the day.
