Agentic AI for productive people is like crystal meth.

Tired of learning. Only want to do. Rewrote wholesale four codebases. If someone shows me a shiny thing to learn I might breakdown and cry. Fried out of my mind. Seen enough.

Only want to do now.

this sounds a bit like a red queen’s race to me

doing more and more with agents to get the same results? how do you tell you are actually making any progress vs doing busy work

I am noticing the quality of the work get way better. The issue is that it's an ever expansion of the remit that you started with. So you do stand still a bit at first.

Shipping needs to remain a constant.

yes! i agree that quality is improving. for me i get a lot from back and forth conversations with the agent (pair programming)

my concern is when we can move 10x faster we should also try to move in right direction
