* superior written communication * leadership * data structures * task/project management * performance/measurements * data transmission techniques Honestly, if you really have to ask the question then none of this matters because it sounds like you are already delegating your career to AI which would make this list unapproachable.

I'm interested to know why you think data structures are important. AI is pretty good at reasoning out data structures problems.

Ability to think like a human who will use your product. It's the small details like looking at a web page and understanding if it "makes sense" and "looks good" and what improvement would make usability better. AI can write the code and follow best practices, but the ability to think like a real human user and be a true Product Manager is something that would always be needed IMHO

Yeah, even 2 years ago you could tell it to make a service with minimal instructions and it would usually guess the right data structure.

Often better than many developers I've worked with come up with.

Forget what AI can and cannot do. What can you do?

If you are only doing data entry into an LLM without understanding how any of this actually works then what do I need you for? I can just promote the janitor at half the cost to do your job.

In my team, we need to redesign our products because the main user is AI rather than humans.
