“We’re so much more productive that we don’t have time to tell you how much more productive we are”

Do you see how that sounds?

To be fair, AI isn't going to give us more time outside work. It'll just increase expectations from leadership.

I feel this, honestly. I get so much more work done (currently: building & shipping games, maintaining websites, managing APIs, releasing several mobile apps, and developing native desktop applications) managing 5x claude instances that the majority of my time is sucked up by just prompting whichever agent is done on their next task(s), and there's a real feeling of lost productivity if any agent is left idle for too long.

The only time to browse HN left is when all the agents are comfortably spinning away.
