Every software developer will be a manager of one or more AI agents. Managing AI agents will turn out to be surprisingly similar to managing people, except for the drama, illness, and tragedy.

I'm downvoting you because:
1) You're anthropomorphizing AI.
2) You're devaluing your fellow human/professional.

"By using AI we get all the benefits of workers but with none of the drawbacks of humans."
I hear this spiel most often about junior engineers on HN, and it really pisses me off. It just comes off as incredibly anti-social.
I was trying to make a different statement. Everyone will need to become a manager, even ICs. But in the past, many engineers shied away from management, for various reasons. Now, it will need to change.
Managing people is hard because of all the things that make us human. Managing AI will be simpler as we won't need to deal with some of those things.

To be fair, I did not write that. You are projecting your thoughts on my post.
