Who's doing all the prompting for people being laid off though? How does that transition look like?
Does the middle manager which before bugged people to do the work now write a prompt and commit code and file documents themselves?

Well, what do managers do once they prompt junior developers? ;)
Also, "tell a prompt and wait for it to finish without intervention" is not something that happens even with magical Claud Code.
I'd really like to see some actual theory (and position, people) surfaced that can be laid off due to AI and who and how then actually runs the LLMs in the company after layoffs. I've never been in a company where new work wouldn't fill up the available developer capacity, so I'm really interested in how the new world would look like.
Maybe it will return to that, the job will have a lot of waiting around, and “free” time.
That is how you interact with OpenAI's Codex though.
