Asking because that's the situation I'm in. Going on 50 years old, I've been in this business since before I could legally drink a beer (in most US states, whoever was about to scold me for assuming US-as-default), and the idea of spending the rest of my career managing LLMs that are writing the actual code is deeply unappealing. So, for the first time since I was a teenager, I'm giving a lot of thought to what I might want to do for a living and how to get from here to there. I doubt I'm the only one, so if you're also in this situation, what's your plan?
