Grandma out here dropping wisdom bombs that every engineering manager needs to hear. The secret to longevity? Resisting the urge to panic-fire your entire dev team after watching one of those "AI will replace all developers" videos featuring Claude casually solving LeetCode hards while explaining quantum physics.
Look, we've all been there. You see Claude write a perfect React component in 3 seconds, refactor legacy code like it's nothing, and suddenly you're questioning why you're paying six figures for developers who spend half their day on Stack Overflow. But grandma knows better – she's seen trends come and go for 110 years. She remembers when people thought COBOL would replace programmers, when outsourcing was gonna end tech jobs, and when low-code platforms were the "future."
The real longevity hack is understanding that AI is a tool, not a replacement. Your team still needs to know what to build, why to build it, and how to debug when Claude hallucinates a function that doesn't exist. Keep your devs, keep your sanity, live to 110. Simple.
