> Interestingly, the best AI assisted devs have often moved to management/solution architecture, and they find the AI code tools brought back some of the love of coding. I have a hypothesis they’re wired a bit differently and their role with AI tools is actually closer to management than it is development in a number of ways.

The CTO and VPEng at my company (very small, still do technical work occasionally) both love the agent stuff so much. Part of it for them is that it gives them the opportunity to do technical work again with the limited time they have. Without having to distract an actual dev, or spend a long time reading through the codebase, they can quickly get context for an build small items themselves.
