Argh, yes. I'm a professional web dev and I'd been grappling with these friggin' gremlins for ages. I'm loving your Staff engineer comparison. Wise and judicious delegation was always the real/underlying skill, wasn't it. AI just made all this posh wank more timely and urgent for the rest of us.
Golly br0: the accidental switching thing is significant too, isn't it. Most agent interfaces practically beg you to pokey-poke-poke at Something Else while-u-wait, right? Designing properly deliberate handoffs for all these has been the single biggest upgrade to my workflow this year. Good stuff all round.

Thanks, Mikey :)
I have to remind myself that the interfaces of the AI tools aren't meant to make us more productive, but to keep us using their tool
Ha, true. There's some overlap between these but it sure isn't 100%.
