You sit on the arbitrating layer. It sounds like you have some programming experience as you miss looking at the code. I did check a lot of code and got tired of how perfect it were, generated by AI. Latest Claude is insane, does not even make errors. You still have to guide it and it will occasionally go astray and make rookie mistakes. If you extrapolate to 6 months down the road, one Claude API = a team of 10 programmers. None of them sloppy and undocumented. So if one wants to remain pertinent in this new economy of infinite coding, one should go back to project management, learn best practice and software fundamentals. I think there will be a lot of demand for ex-programmers able to steer AI in the most efficient stack, the best architecture and the most optimised deployment. Notions of recurring cost, maintenance and security will help for sure.
