I think you’ve forgotten about the “software architect” role.

If all you do is write requests and then have the LLMs spit out the code, then you’re not a programmer, you’re a software architect.

Middle managers have to supervise people, otherwise they are not managers.

Aren't you managing AI/LLM Agents in this case, that write the actual code?

You are delegating work and reviewing delegated work, but not managing. No performance coaching, no career development, no mentoring, no conflict resolution, no influencing opinions, and on and on.
