I find the time unproblematic. A bug fix is typically 30 seconds, a new feature 1-3 minutes. I want to review those before they go out, and any other way to review them I can think of would take longer. FWIW, if the…
I was able to go from 5 to over 20 parallel sessions without burnout by changing my role. I switched from engineer to engineering director. I try to focus on directing and deciding. I built a software for that for…
I assume with 1000 agent jobs you mean completed jobs, not jobs running in parallel. My solution for keeping the historical context of my projects: In docs/plan/, I have plans currently being executed. They get deleted…
"I work with models edit by edit" – That could be the cause of bias: Maybe because you're supervising small step iterations of the model, you notice issues that the model would have noticed itself if you had let it…
Interesting. Two thoughts: 1. Are you using the latest frontier models? I know that feeling: "These things are creating some wild code. Then sticking to its guns in some cases and just rewriting the same bug over and…
How do you judge that the e2e test is correct? Trust it, read it, watch it? I'm watching demo videos.
I heard about https://idealab.ai/ in the Moonshots podcast. Sounds somewhat similar, but for business instead of science.
Haha, well, I don't because I have no reason to assume this is in the code. In fact, I have reason to assume it is not in the code because the models aren't trained to produce this. Could there be a less egregious…
I think the answer is: Think of yourself as a maker, not as a programmer, and you'll be good. I feel like a good chunk of my skills that I honed over decades as a software engineer are obsolete: programming, debugging,…
I can't prevent them, and in fact, I don't want to. Didn't mean to imply that.

Yes, it's a huge change. For me, it has already happened, and I like it. Since the end of September, agents have made about 960 commits to a project of mine, and I haven't written or read a line of its code. About 6…
