Fucking hell, 80% of my job is finding out what the requirements are. 20% is then using a specialized language to write down all these requirements and the thousands of decisions I make on how to meet them.

If AI somehow replaces those 20% coding,

  • I still have to do 80% of my job, and
  • I still have to tell the AI all this shit, just this time in natural language, which is awful for codifying requirements.

How is this guy a manager, but has no idea what a software engineer does all day?

This is why engineering managers need to come from engineering. If they couldn’t help out in the codebase in an emergency situation, they shouldn’t be making decisions like this. It’s not unreasonable for ELT to ask questions about this but if their reporters are not telling them the truth, the whole structure is broken.

But without ignorant, self-congratulating MBAs to artificially reduce productivity to maintain the illusion of constant growth, companies would make safer products with greater care and understanding of the entire process holistically, and you can't pay your shareholders in understanding.
