Managing agents may be the new scarce skill, the post argues

The quoted post says that managing agents is more interesting than the old boring job of writing code, and that even fewer people are good at directing agents well than were good at coding. The surrounding reply frames it as a reaction to programming work being automated, making the post a small but real comment on how software jobs may shift from writing code to orchestrating agentic work.
