Programmers won't turn into managers of technology because programmers are already the managers. Writing code in symbolic formalisms is how we control reality and impose our will upon it. The people you call managers have very little power in this process and focus primarily on controlling the human social processes that enable programmers to do what they do. There's no social process interacting with machines so there's no managerial position you can graduate into.
