I honestly think middle management will be where AI causes job cuts.

In today's corporate environment, 70% of the costs are in management and admin muddlement, do we really think these "people skills" translate into anything useful in an AI economy?

The junior devs have far more hope.

I agree. The lack of discussion about replacing middle-management with AI betrays the real politics of business.

Middle-managers output exactly what LLMs do: chats, documents, summaries. Particularly working remotely. They don't even generate tickets/requirements – that's pushed to engineers and product people.
