Oh I fully believe managers think this is just around the corner, but the evidence that it is is just not there. There'll be layoffs and as there are there'll be new opportunities to backfill all the positions when the magic AI doesn't deliver - even if it's just "yes I totally wrote this with AI" while doing normal coding things. Though I'd say the bigger hallmark it's nowhere near is the more obvious one: code has to work, which AI isn't good at. It's very good at sending emails though - replacing the managers is the more likely thing to happen first. Why have a layer of middle management when scheduling software, AI summaries and agentic tools could empower 1 person to direct multiple teams and where hallucinations or mistakes are more easily corrected since nothing crashes you just have a slightly confused subordinate at times?
