The new LLM centered workflow is really just a management job now.

Managers and project managers are valuable roles and have important skill sets. But there's really very little connection with the role of software development that used to exist.

It's a bit odd to me to include both of these roles under a single label of "builders", as they have so little in common.

EDIT: this goes into more detail about how coding (and soon other kinds of knowledge work) is just a management task now: https://www.oneusefulthing.org/p/management-as-ai-superpower...

i don't disagree. at some point LLM's might become good enough that we wouldn't need exact technical expertise.
