The non-programmer decomposition of that joke was painful to read.
Particularly from those outside the domain who criticised it as a 'not a very good joke' because they didn't understand it, which I think summarises the entitled mindset of many people these days.

Take them out of the loop.
Unless they are not human.
They became obsolete when they stopped clearing obstacles, stopped masking politics, and started acting as a proxy for JIRA.
But it's just they way it has always been done, so they get paid to meddle.
I’m guessing you wouldn’t really rather be managed by a bot..,

The idea is to take the human out of the loop.
