Also, this is one workflow at a time. I don't get the talk of parallelization of agents. How on earth do you deal with all the context switching? I think it would kill me tbh.

It takes all of my cognitive bandwidth just reading and understanding the outputs.

And yes, I did have an agent review the code before I reviewed it. Also had another create an ffbd for me with line annotations. Still ended up having to go deep on that code review at the end to understand it.

So my work is mandating agentic coding. One thing I have found is that it shifts to the right (as opposed to you know...shiftLeft), both in terms of quality and understanding. I have adjusted by scrutinizing the output (code) much deeper than if I owned more of the workflow (discovery at minimum).
But ofc, that annuls much of the time saved using an agentic workflow. #programming #agents #AI

I can't even hyper focus my way through this since I need cognitive bandwidth to spare for social scripting and masking for ceremonies.

If I'm not sufficiently diplomatic during refinement and planning, very bad things happen😭 #programming #ActuallyAutistic

My boss is a manager who used to be a dev but it's been entirely too long since then and as a result is divorced from the reality on the ground.

It's ALL about that speed of delivery and he's happy to kick the tech debt can down the road indefinitely.

Meanwhile I'm working on a monolith that's broken half the time.

I don't think a SteamOS landslide is inevitable or even likely but I definitely think MS doesn't realize how much they're playing with fire making Win11, their flagship and historic unbreakable monopoly, the "turning a big dial taht says 'user hostility' on it and constantly looking back at shareholders for approval like a contestant on the price is right" OS.

So with Mamdani's victory the USA has several square km of socialism now?
