For my part, I've started wondering what a serious AI adoption plan would look like.
Earlier this year my manager was lightly pressuring me to stop reading code and just let agents do the review, too. I told him he had to make a choice. Either I understand the software I'm supposed to support and maintain, or Claude takes over for me on pager duty, too. Fortunately he turned out to be one of the few remaining sane managers who's able to remember that grinding out code was never more than maybe a quarter of the actual job.
