Im a developer, how does AI make managers more obsolete than they already are?

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 24 points 5 months ago

if anything goes wrong, you can blame the replacement AI now. so there is still something to hold accountable.

You can make the AI nag at people, have unrealistic expectations and call pointless meetings to waste time

I don't think anyone shares these opinions and yet this gets reposted, what, every day?

Not exactly like this, but I think most people think on some level that their job is one of (if not The) most essential of the company.

CEO, CTO, Sales, Devs, managers, Product owners, QA, data scientist, factory workers.... each one is essential and most don't realise how important the others are.

Wait til those developers find out how the corporate hierarchy works

[–] nexussapphire@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

Managers are always tied to their corporate overlords. Developers can choose to freelance and potentially make more while not having to stick around and maintain an aging codebase if they're skilled enough.

Fair worning, I'm learning to program and I have zero experience in the industry. This is at most observations from what I've heard from others in the industry.
