My last role was HoE after a career as an IC, and honestly, using agents is 95% the same as being an HoE or team lead. Steering the ship, ensuring technical excellence, sometimes fixing dumb bugs, sometimes learning new ways of doing things.
But the whole AI business, especially the closed sort is going to properly screw us all if we let it. At least with open models there is a chance of all of human knowledge being a general good. Not just making the ultra wealthy and powerful, even more so.
