The session is the wrong unit of work: agents need standing jobs

The author argues the session is the wrong unit of work — the ongoing goal is. Example: give an agent a standing job of triaging customer feedback — grouping requests, linking new reports to existing issues, flagging roadmap decisions.
- Codex/Claude already offer goals, scheduled tasks, and subagents
- Kiro Crew bots bundle these: each bot has its own memory/workspace, coordinates multiple worker sessions, and reports back into one ongoing chat
His 2027 bet: giving an agent an ongoing responsibility will feel as normal as giving it a coding task did in 2026.
