> Can Gen-AI, moot the need for code?

During interviews one of my go-to examples of problem solving is a project I was able to kill during discovery, cancelling a client contract and sending everyone back to the drawing board.

Half of the people I've talked to do not understand why that might be a positive situation for everyone involved. I need to explain the benefit of having clients think you walk on water. They're still upset my example isn't heavy on any of the math they've memorized.

It feels like we're wondering how wise an AI can be in an era where wisdom and long-term thinking aren't really valued.

Managers aren't a separate class from knowledge workers, everyone goes down on the same ship with this one. If the AI can handle wisdom it'll replace most of the managers asking for more AI use. Turtles all the way down.

Managers serve one function no AI will replace: they're fuses C-suits can sacrifice when shit hit the fan.
