I shudder at the thought of being managed as badly as most code works. Most sufficiently complex technologies have to be operated in manual override mode most of the time.

Its freedom to manage yourself, if you can hack the system sufficiently enough, that it avoids interacting with you. So as strange as it sounds, if you are clever and already managing your manager, nothing changes.

Reminds me of the short story Manna [1]. It gets a bit weird towards the end but the first few chapters at least seem like a reasonable prediction of the hellscape that would result if you put an fully automated management system in charge of people.
