Developer leeknowlton says he now spends just 20-30 minutes a week in his inbox, funneling most admin email to his agents and only occasionally reading Substack. Echoing Dan Shipper's "the newsletter is dead" take, he quips: "rip the newsletter, long live personal connection" — another founder confirming agents are displacing direct email reach.
