It’s a strange idea that team management is going to be more valuable if individual engineers are more productive.
I’m actually _more_ worried about team managers than line engineers when it comes to AI impact.
I think someone needs to "manage" these AI engineers still, to supervise them working, and review code, PRs.
It's less about personal development, but more on performance management.
AI can’t attend meetings and converse with humans on other teams to understand what the priorities are, what features need to be built, what issues are happening, etc.
I was in a meeting this week where a manager stepped away for 60% of the meeting, came back, got the ai summary and didn’t lose anything…
