Delegating to your agent at 7am and going for a run: how do you count work hours now?
gethackteam · x · 2026-10-13
gethackteam describes his agent-powered morning: 7:00am he gives his agent a task, 7:10am goes for a run, 8:00am back to check on the agent, 8:05 breakfast. His question: did he work for 1 hour 15 minutes, or just 15 minutes?
It's a snapshot of how agent autonomy is scrambling traditional notions of work time — when tasks progress in the background, human input hours and output diverge sharply.
