I don't know the timeline, but I generally agree.

I think history agrees too, i.e. machine code > assembly language > high-level programming language > prompts.

A more reasonable extension is:

machine code > assembly language > high-level programming language > what ever works for business i.e. prompts/ai/LLM

If it works for business then increasingly that's all that will count. Clean code, static vs dynamic any the other principles or debates will give way as long as AI produces results. The economic ends justify the means.
