He is absolutely right here, and I think in this article he has "shaped" the direction of future software engineering (which is already happening actually): we are moving closer and closer to a new way of writing code. But this time, for real. I mean that it will increasingly become the standard. Just as in the past an architect used to draw every detail by hand, while today much of the operational work is delegated to parametric software, CAD, BIM, and so on. The architect does not "draw less" because they know less, but because the value of their work has shifted. This is a concept we've repeated often in recent months, with the advent of Opus 4.5 and 5.2-Codex. But I think that here antirez has given it the right shape and also did well to distinguish it from mere vibecoding, which, as far as I'm concerned, are two radically different approaches.
