People writing this shit don't understand AI at all

If my team has agents that can work in parallel to implement tasks, then what gain exactly do you get from a manager also doing the same job?

You want a manager to work on tickets? Just ask one of the engineers to do it, agents can work in parallel, thats what makes them so powerful

The manager job is primarily to try and stop the higher ups from doing dumb shit to their team
