sorenrood · x · 2026-08-22
A manager whose job shifted from managing humans to managing robots (agents) shares takeaways:
- The web is generally not built for agents — auth, CAPTCHAs, and 2FA are real bottlenecks requiring workarounds.
- 95% of corporate work doesn't need frontier intelligence; most automation-ready work is just information transfer/manipulation.
The author quips that the era where robots do the heavy lifting while he skis all day is getting closer.
