Mechanize CTO Details Agent-First Work: ~1 Week per Task, Running Multiple Agents in Parallel

Citing the Mechanize CTO's blog, the author highlights an upbeat but fascinating description of agent-first work.
Key details: a typical task takes roughly a week from ideation to submission; you generally work one task at a time, but can keep a second task in an earlier phase while long-running agent transcripts complete on your primary one. It's a concrete glimpse of a work model where humans ideate and review while agents do the heavy lifting.
