The inability to delegate has historically been a failure mode for senior tech folks.
However the rise of AI means you can now be a “super IC” for whom it’s more effective to just use Claude to do the work than guide one or more junior people to do the work.
In tech, this is slowly becoming more respected than being a manager.
Interesting and obvious question seems to be how do you learn to be a “Hi-C” (senior AI empowered IC) without ever being in a team under one?
This will probably be a new knock-on hype curve but for company structure where it lands, I have no idea, but intuitively I’m thinking companies and organisational hierarchy are just coupled in some respect and this Hi-C thing is just a flex with similar scopes already existing.
