Managing agents

{{/* Pas d’accroche ici, contrairement aux deux autres pages de sujet : sa paire francaise n’en a pas non plus. Le texte fourni ouvre sur une phrase de prose, pas sur une accroche. */}} I manage thirty engineers. And on a personal project of my own, outside my professional work, several positions are held by agents.

This series is about what running an organisation becomes when the positions have no memory, no career, and no pride. What carries over and what does not. What amortises and what gets paid in full every single time.

These are not notes about tooling. They are management notes, written from both sides at once.

Notes in this series

• September 4 An agent never asks what I mean

  I lead engineers by day and an organization of agents by night. The difference is not speed. It is that the cost of framing no longer amortizes.
