Short answer: Leverage AI, become more productive with AI and make sure you can output more value than just AI itself. Also move up the value chain to product management, team management.

It’s a strange idea that team management is going to be more valuable if individual engineers are more productive.

I’m actually _more_ worried about team managers than line engineers when it comes to AI impact.

I think someone needs to "manage" these AI engineers still, to supervise them working, and review code, PRs.
It's less about personal development, but more on performance management.

AI can’t attend meetings and converse with humans on other teams to understand what the priorities are, what features need to be built, what issues are happening, etc.
