After: "Don't spend too long writing code, document things so the agents know what's going on."

Before: "Don't spend too long trying to set up the culture and processes of the team so the develop/test/ship loop is smooth, write code."

Indeed! It's been rather disturbing seeing how some of these agents.md / context prompt things are put together, as a lot of them end up just being really good documentation to people on how they should be doing their jobs...

It's almost as if we didnt do it before to make it just slightly harder for management to roll in new warm bodies, whereas now, folks are doing it as they can't wait to obsolete themselves!

Reminds me how certain enterprise patterns + design decisions suddenly start looking very appealing for paid-by-the-hour contractors, but will be the first thing to go if you've got a small team under the pump to get things ddelivered within tight timeframes!
