The best interpretation of this is you mean eventually ML/AI will put programmers out of a job, and not Code LLama specifically.

However it is hard to tell how that might pan out. Can such an ML/AI do all the parts of the job effectively? A lot of non-coding skill bleed into the coder's job. For example talking to people who need an input to the task and finding out what they are really asking for, and beyond that, what the best solution is that solves the underlying problem of what they ask for, while meeting nonfunctional requirements such as performance, reliability, code complexity, and is a good fit for the business.

On the other hand eventually the end users of a lot of services might be bots. You are more likely to have a pricing.json than a pricing.html page, and bots discover the services they need from searches, negotiate deals, read contracts and sue each other etc.

Once the programming job (which is really a "technical problem solver" job) is replaced either it will just be same-but-different (like how most programmers use high level languages not C) or we have invented AGI that will take many other jobs.

In which case the "job" aspect of it is almost moot. Since we will be living in post-scarcity and you would need to figure out the "power" aspect and what it means to even be sentient/human.
