Are you scared of robots taking your job / taking other people's jobs?

I'll be long dead when that happens

no. then again it doesn't really apply to any of my skills, in fact, i benefit from widespread robotic automation
overall i think it'd be a plus for society. in the short term there might be some people out of a job but the long-term benefits outweigh that temporary hit

No, he briefly touches on the fact that they aren't completely safe, giving only the example of meh music bots and a robot that can paint a predetermined picture.
Never, at any point is it talked about the fact that programming is a completely different form of "art" than painting and music because:
-It has to take into account complex creative choices based on human-based requests and massive amounts of business and human context, meaning complete and total language understandings are a base requirement
-It has to be able to understand and dynamically apply downright complex mathematics and logical thinking
-It has to be able to understand (or solve) extremely tough theoretical problems and limitations that not even people have yet solved
-And finally, the ability to fix massive mistakes even after having thought of seemingly every possible idea on why it may have occurred in the first place
By the time all of these can be solved by a bot, we have a lot more to worry about than just a few jobs being replaced. We need to be worried about an all new class of intelligent life.
