From this he draws the conclusion that software engineering will require skills traditionally expected from managers, rather than just writing code. I see this kind of sentiment a lot when managerial class people talk about "AI". I almost always feel a creeping suspicion that the managerial class want to get rid of software developers and engineers as a class, because members of that class have some agency and knowledge that the managers do not have, and cannot have. That is, the emphasis on LLM-based "AI" exists because those who peaked in high school want back on top of the status pyramid.
