Nap while you can. The baseline is slowly raising; AI fed with organization context will hunt you down and lay you off, as it has done at multiple companies this spring already.

I mean, I didn't read it as a joke. Taking a rest can lead to a clearer ability to think... thereby being more productive, not less.

For the record I took it 100% seriously, having been wfh since covid I’ve taken more than one nap during ‘work hours’ myself… I’m saying ‘spin up an agent and go for a long walk’ being ok is close to over and it’s over in some companies already - and it isn’t because they’re monitoring what you’re doing, it’s that they know what is possible from those few folks who don’t go for walks and spin up more agents instead.
