    Siemens says managers delegate work to junior programmers and AI agents

    Junior programmers also run their own agents, Siemens says—so managing AI isn't limited to senior staff.

    TLDR

    Siemens describes senior managers assigning work to junior programmers and AI agents side by side, while junior programmers run agents of their own. The company cites Stanford's Erik Brynjolfsson, who calls it becoming a "CEO of your own fleet of agents."

    Ethan Mollick@emollickWhen I talk to senior managers, increasingly hearing stories of the blurring of jobs inside organizations (we found this at our P&G study as well): coding, design, product management, all collapsing & overlapping as everyone uses AI We need new models for organizing work, fast.21d

    W.@walterwhitepillThere's a dude at my company who's gone full Claude Coworker. He uses live suggestions of what to say on calls from his ai notetaker (I see the reflection in his glasses) and all of his work comes from Claude. All messages sent on Slack, docs, emails, all from Claude, all unchecked by him (easy to tell). Scarcely an single original thought or contribution... When this first started late last year I got frustrated with the quality of the work and wrote a formal letter to management. Nothing changed, and as things progressed Claude got smarter, and it actually surpassed the ability of this coworker. It's now smarter than he is/could be, and because of that it no longer bothers me. I have a Claude Coworker, and it's better than the guys it's using to copy paste things. Wild time in the workplace man.20d
