when you're an individual contributor, when you stop, the work stops. But when you manage a whole bunch of agents and they're constantly pinging you because they finished their work, then congrats: You’re now a middle manager… for a team of agents It’s like having your calendar filling up with one-on-ones and OKRs and so on. The manager’s schedule. Except your one-on-ones are the moments where you give little prompts to the agents that you're ordering around. What a funny thing.
