Solo dev: agents made me a hundred-decisions-a-day generalist — and unhireable
rudrank · x · 2026-11-14
Reposting NatashaTheRobot's observation: with AI agents, she now makes hundreds of decisions daily across design, marketing, research, and engineering on multiple projects as a solo generalist. At a big company, each would require meetings and buy-in — her last contracting gig took two weeks just to get Xcode approved. She jokes she's become even more unhireable, highlighting the efficiency gap between agent-driven solo workflows and corporate processes.
