Developer juggling 6 AI agents keeps checking MacBook mid-conversation

A developer's self-deprecating tweet about checking his MacBook every two minutes during a conversation: he had spun up 6 agents working on 6 different tasks before a meeting, and they kept asking for permission to proceed. "I can't just leave my employees waiting." A funny snapshot of the agent-workflow era, where humans become on-call approvers for their own digital workforce.
