I've never understood this train of thought. When working in teams and for clients, people always have questions about what we have created. "Why did you choose to implement it like this?" "How does this work?" "Is X possible to do within our timeframe/budget?"
If you become just a manager, you don't have answers to these questions. You can just ask the AI agent for the answer, but at that point, what value are you actually providing to the whole process?
And what happens when, inevitably, the agent responds to your question with "You're absolutely right, I didn't consider that possibility! Let's redo the entire project to account for this?" How do you communicate that to your peers or clients?
I think you are not using enough imagination.
It would not be shocking at all if in 10 years, "Let's redo the entire project to account for this" is exactly how things work.
Or lets make 3 or 4 versions of the project and see what one the customer likes best.
Or each decision point of the customer becomes multiple iterations of the project, with each time the project starting from scratch.
Of course, at some point there might not be a customer in this context. The "customer" that can't handle this internally might no longer be a viable business.
"You're absolutely right" feels so summer 2025 to me.
