Instead of writing code, engineers should focus on directing AI agents, which will make them more efficient and legitimate in their roles as managers.\n\nThe author explains that AI will not replace management, but rather test its legitimacy when decisions become increasingly mediated by machines. By directing AI agents, engineers can focus on what truly matters, rather than getting bogged down in the technicalities of code creation.",
