You're shipping faster than ever with AI. So why do you feel fried? Running 5 agents isn't 5x output. It's 5 junior engineers tapping your shoulder - and nobody warned you about the cognitive bill. How I protect my focus: gilbertsanchez.com/posts/using-...

AI lets you ship faster, but the throughput has a hidden cost: cognitive exhaustion. Here's how I run agents without burning out.

I've been using the wsb CLI for the most part. For a project where I use sandbox a lot, I'll write a wsb file with my mapped folders, and I'll have a simple function to launch the sandbox and run my startup script from a mapped folder. Jeff has a module too www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Win...

Just came back in my feed. My 2c: "Is it a bad time to give you some feedback?" allows the other side an out and let's them protect their autonomy. It's better to start from a true commitment vs a false one. A false "yes" means they're not gonna listen, they're just letting you talk at them.
