The post is right superficially. It made being an engineer harder because it took away the easy parts that anyone can do and it forces engineers to think of the hard ones.
No jobs get easier with automation - they always move a step up in abstraction level.
An accountant who was super proficient in adding numbers no longer can rely on those skills once calculator was invented.

This is the key. I haven't found that things have become harder. The hard parts are still hard, and those have been the most important and prominent parts of my job once I reached a certain level.
