Reddit post: "I stopped being a developer and became an operator of four Claude Code agents"

A developer's viral self-deprecating post: a year ago he wrote code; now he runs four parallel Claude Code sessions plus a review bot. His actual day: typing "continue," approving bash commands he didn't read, asking Codex to check what Claude did, relaying the verdict back, and calling it "orchestration" in standup.

He sketches the career path as: developer → operator → supervisor of operators → lighthouse keeper watching agents through a window. The post resonates because it captures how agent-based coding shifts humans toward supervision and approval rather than implementation.
