I think this was the standard management reaction across all the companies that embraced AI as if it was the second coming of Jesus Christ.

    They thought it was their ticket to fire everybody, and the more they made you use it the sooner they could fire you.

    Soon, the guys upstairs will realise that the real savings are in replacing the middle management with agents, not replacing the workers. Fingers crossed.

    I don't doubt that for a second, my friend.

    I was a PM at a major now-hyperscaler and one of the engineers on my team was pretty vocal about PM not contributing.

    He ended up leaving for a team that didn't have one. A few years later I happened to be in his new building, he saw me, and came up with this huge grin on his face, "oh wow are you joining our team?"

    You always hate the chick writing the specs until you don't have one any more. 😂
