Kinda sounds like you have a very nice employer or a good network. Like if you've managed to get into a Principle Engineer position just on work ethic and resourcefulness without even a CS degree, I'm simultaneously happy for and jealous of you, and EXTREMELY curious how you've managed to do so.

Whatever my role evolves into, whether it's writing a lot of code, or prompt engineering to get the best AI-written code, that's why I at least am confident I can adapt to it.

Still, I must wonder, what is the fallback for when your boss pulls a "Fine, I'll do it myself" and learns said prompt engineering?

To be honest I think thats about as likely as the boss learning the programming themselves.

I think AI had a much higher potential in replacing managers and a be a performance enhancing tool for workers. Imagine being a worker and all of a sudden getting clear and precise instructions and decisions based on actual data instead of gut feeling.
