Instead he made this prediction because he saw the rise of no-code tools replacing software developers because managers could finally cut out the pesky "translators", i.e. software developers. But aren't managers there to coordinate software engineers. So if software engineers are out of a job, so will the managers. Assuming AI replaces software engineering, the ones left may be the product people and the founders, perhaps rolled into one person in several cases? Which aligns somewhat with what Carmack is suggesting.
