- the task isn't the job
Cheap AI execution shifts the bottleneck from coding to deciding what to build, highlighting the need to focus on jobs‑to‑done and agency rather than mere task automation.
- every company needs a cassandra
The article proposes an AI agent named Cassandra that acts as an organizational dissenter by detecting groupthink and voicing contrarian views only when socially costly for humans to express.
- one document, two hands
AI agents should operate beside users within the same app state, using deterministic tools instead of chat overlays, as shown by the music app Pizzo and Project Think harness.
- never waste a token
Putting a durable buffer between AI agents and LLM providers prevents token waste and re-billing when a process crashes mid-stream, with resumable streaming and crash recovery using the same mechanism.
- the context is the work (what the day-to-day looks like now)
Coding agents make implementation cheap but shift engineering difficulty to defining context, constraints, and verification, making PR descriptions the new center of work.
- where good ideas come from (for coding agents)
Coding agents excel at adjacent-possible moves but require users to supply constraints, context, oracles, and feedback loops to become reliably useful.
