I know, I know. It was more a tounge in cheek comment to something I assume was irony as well. To be fair to GP, management doesn't get any of this...

Adding is always easier than reducing to the essence.

I find it interesting how herding agents has so much in common with being a team lead. Constant struggle between too detailed and too loose instructions. One difference though is that the team learns from you, but with agents it's only you who adapts. Saying that, because I don't count instructions or anything in the context window as adapting.

So what? So you must now produce more. Expectations have changed. If you are paid the same money, and work has become easier: balance is lost.

Someone will compete and take your place. Now you're expected to produce more, or step aside for someone who will.

It is more Value.

Who decides value? I'm sure you can figure that out.
