It would be like steering offshore teams, with the difference the team are now AI agents.

Better look for architecture and management jobs, only a few select ones would still be allowed into the magic tower.

Naturally after a heavy round of letcode interviews that have nothing to do with writing AI algorithms.



Management ? I'm not sure, if the AI makes engineers 10-20x more efficient, you will need way less engineers, and way less managers.


Well maybe more project/program management than typical people management - you still need someone to organize the work at a higher level, collect the requirements and feedback, check all the compliance boxes, etc.

But I agree that typical line management jobs will evaporate along with the engineering ones.


There is always a spot for more managers, welcome to big corps.


Replacing managers is a walk in the park compared to replacing programmers. The focus is on programming because that is the benchmark, if we can outsource that to AI, then we can replace everyone.


Its Managers all the way down...


until big corp laysoff all that middle management


and middle managers start their own firm, consisting entirely of manager managers
