Thread regarding Northwestern Mutual layoffs

Director → Manager → Product Owner → Engineer → AI

AI won't replace engineers. But it might expose how many people are employed just to ask engineers what they're doing.

Looks like we’ve invented a new organizational structure. The engineer does the actual work. AI helps the engineer do it faster.

Meanwhile, the other three are busy asking for status updates, alignment meetings, communication plans, and visibility dashboards.

Apparently, the more redundant the leadership layer becomes, the more critical it is to keep everyone informed about the work they’re not doing.

@OP get rid of all those clown scrum masters. Waste of time & space. Half of the coders are incompetent & slow.

@ab You're not wrong, but it's also a recipe for sh-t. Hooray for a captive audience!

AI will replace engineers. Already is.
With no engineers, no managers.
No managers, no directors.
Few leadership positions.

The business telling AI what to do. That'll be it.

AI is coming for everybody. The engineers are first.
