It's not quite like that

Let's divide management up into administrative / supervision and leadership / creation and mentor / culture

the first part os getting replaced no matter what. The last part - mentorship etc, well I am not sure that is done well almost anywhere.

And that's probably 80% of current management work

The real nitty gritty is leadership / creativity.

Look at some of the best in OSS - let's try Linus, or Van Rossum. Yes code is produced. Daily. But also politics is navigated, usually

The good things here are that the politics is open because the only means of communication is open(ie email). If those with commit bits could meet in smokey back rooms they would. it's easier.

not sure where i am going but software gives huge speed and flexibility advantages that not to replace most decision making in your company with software is like refusing armoured cars because horses are brave.
