Incidentially, the articles argument alignes with what UBI proponents say: Most people won't stop working. They'll just go for more rewarding work while taking a pay-cut or demanding increased pay for shitty work.
I believe that to be true, but that's probably because I fall in the article's category; I don't think I will ever stop working. Maybe not the same thing (I do many things already that have nothing to do with coding, but for now I like coding the most). If UBI, I definitely would have started out when I was younger with very different work. If it comes now, I would not change anything.
