I _think_ I’m the friend being referenced. I’m parallelizing solving different issues. Basically I keep an internal swim lane of a variety of projects and just kick off the next task in the lane I think the agent can handle.

Then I do my “real” work, there’s the stuff I don’t trust the agent with, or is more exploratory or whatever.

As I think of more agent tasks doing that I write them down. When I take a break, say for lunch or winding down at the end of the day I check back in on previous tasks and fire off the new ones.

My flow is very similar to what I did with junior eng except I’m willing to fire off even more trivial tasks at the agent because I don’t care if it sits idle. Similarly if it gets way off base I’m happy to kill the pr more aggressively and start over, what do I care if it wasted its time or if it learns a valuable lesson from the experience?
