>why would I hire a programmer and pay them 200k a year when they cannot handle basic communication without becoming unproductive?
As entrepreneur myself, the main reason I pay someone 200K is because I can make this person generate more than 200k in profit.
The fact that someone have flaws, like any human being has, is an opportunity for me as I can make those flaws irrelevant by providing the environment where a team could be extra productive.
That means the team needs me and my company. If they were perfect on their own, they would not need me or my company at all and would be able to compete with my company.
If robots could one day do the work of programmers, they would be able to do the work of managers and entrepreneurs as well, which is way easier(I am engineer too).
>Are humans still necessary when robots are able to understand humans and become fluent ESLs?

Yes, they are.
