The conclusion to AI gas for software engineers.

imo, this is where those that have dipped their toes in leadership have an advantage. they already have experience with planning, delegation, follow ups, etc
Absolutely right. Now the leadership in software engineering does not come without gaining skills. Where did they get these skills? It's very clear that those who have these skills had to hit those roads multiple times to achieve them. Without having skills in planning, delegation, engineering, architecting, producing maintainable software etc. its very tough to lead AI agents to produce resilient, highly maintainable software apps. Devs would learn these skills reading classic books, code, apps - how they were built, watching tutorials, etc. Due to light of AI agents, these methods might go away. This might create a very rough path for junior devs to reach the ability needing to lead AI agents.
