For all the value that they bring, there is still a good dose of parlour tricks and toy examples around, and they need an intelligent guiding hand to get the best out of them. As a meat brain, you can bring big picture design skills that the bots don't have, keeping them on track to deliver a coherent codebase, and fixing the inevitable hallucinations. Think of it like having a team of optimistic code monkeys with terrible memory, and you as the coordinator. I would focus on building skills in things like software design/architecture, requirements gathering (what do people want and how do you design software to deliver it?), in-depth hardware knowledge (how to get the best out of your platform), good API design, debugging, etc. Leave the CRUD to the robots and be the brain.
