> The time may come, perhaps even soon, when AI takes over programming completely. But in the mean time, a programmer who embraces AI, yet is skeptical about everything it creates, is better-equipped than any comparably-skilled human in programming history.
The premise is flawed.
Your company has 3 layers: workers - managers - owners. When AI (actual AI, not "AI") takes over, that'll change into 2 layers: AI - owners.
How you're equipped doesn't matter because you're out of the picture. Not economically viable. Irrelevant.
