>the new era of swe will demand more and more long term business + product direction and relationship building skills

Why do you assume this to be the case? Look at your own company culture--has it not become increasingly siloed as people look to their own agents for most questions, tasks? What relationship skills are you building while talking to your chatbot all day?

>the trajectory leads us to all becoming mini-ceos directing our company of agents

Only if you completely misunderstand how business and economics works. The price of code is falling because it's turning into a commodity. The amount of people needed to produce it is drastically decreasing.

We consume more food than ever, but the % of people who work to produce food is far smaller than it was 150 years ago.
