I am a developer turned (reluctantly) into management. I still keep my hands in code and work w team on a handful of projects. We use GitHub copilot on a daily basis and it has become a great tool that has improved our speed and quality. I have 20+ years experience and see it as just another tool in the toolbox. Maybe I’m naive but I don’t feel threatened by it.

At least at my company the problem is the business hasn’t caught up. We can code faster but our stakeholders can’t decide what they want us to build faster. Or test faster or grasp new modalities llms make possible.

That’s where I want to go next: not just speeding up and increasing code quality but improving business analytics and reducing the amount of meetings I have to be in to get business problems understood and solved.
