The urge to be alienated from your own craft (he had a tehcnical background at some point) and then justify it because you "dont have time" to code anymore (gee whizz maybe pick a different job dipass) is infuriating.

He's just typing in a request and the code changes before his eyes -- he isnt doing any fucking coding!!! He's using a chatbox to request an entity changes the code!!! we already do that dorkshit!!! and we hallucinate bullshit too!!!

Look I know that capitalists will always align to automation over workers, but this isn't that. This is a man who is genuinely convinced he is an active participant in the programming process despite occupying a role no different to the one he does already, only with faster results in the specific demos he creates.

Capitalism has turned its central contradiction -- alienation, into a fucking product that people want.

Nguba being the Kongo word for peanut - enslaved Africans growing peanuts called them Nguba, which the slave owners morphed into "Goober", doubling as slang for a stupid person (as they viewed the enslaved).
