Definitely put your finger on what I’ve been feeling.

> What AI did was give every engineer a small team of tireless, fast, occasionally-wrong direct reports. And with the team came the manager’s problem. The discomfort engineers are feeling right now isn’t an AI problem. It’s a delegation problem, and delegation is the oldest unsolved problem in our discipline.

Very good synthesis.

What fascinates me is that the idea is not really a novel finding, plenty of people are making the same observation. What's strange is that the conversation always stops there... nobody seems to ask the harder question: management is a skill that took most of us years to learn badly before we got decent at it. "Welcome to our world" is not giving any help.
