When You Become the Infrastructure
Give agents computers, memory, tools, and enough autonomy to keep working after you leave, and a hidden job appears. The human becomes the infrastructure: routing work, restoring context, reconnecting stale sessions, and carrying findings between specialists.
Making each agent smarter does not remove that load. Two agents can both claim the same task and both answer well, producing one failed collaboration. An ordinary request to put a workspace on GitHub can quietly include credentials. The agent that created a projectβs canonical repository can later forget that the repository exists. A bot can send 34 true alerts about the same stalled job and destroy the channel as a signal.
