I agree, but I get the impression talking to others and from articles like this one that everyone's experience is real, it's just that the diversity of experiences is so vast that there are some really good ones and some really bad ones and the best thing we can do is share more on how to get the better ones more often. I'm in a weird situation where my day job involves running a 400 person dev team and my evenings and weekends involves playing with my one person startup and my virtual team of AI agents, so I get a lot of heavy in person stuff and plenty of AI stuff too. The key for me in this last few months on the virtual side, which has been anything but fatiguing, is to use a framework a friend of mine made that treats agents not as order takers but senior collaborators who push back, have explicit autonomy levels for different tasks, and are by design proactive and helpful. It's made me able to confidently do things like product management and marketing that I lacked confidence in while leaving me to be as pedantic and particular as I like as the engineer on the team. This has been energising, not fatiguing. The framework is here: https://github.com/normannoble/agent-framework
