tl;dr:The biggest unlock from AI isn’t just speed — it’s parallelism. Great developers are starting to multithread themselves, spinning up agents to handle multiple tasks at once. But today’s tools aren’t built for this kind of parallel work. We need systems that give developers visibility, control, and oversight across all those moving parts — or we risk the chaos outpacing the gains.
tl;dr:"The biggest mistake I see engineers make is doing too much work on their own before looping in others." This costs time and creates the risk of going down the wrong path. Managers can help: (1) Encourage engineers to show work as quickly as possible. (2) Help them decide what to show that provides meaningful feedback. (3) Encourage launching something end-to-end internally, quickly. (4) Encourage constructive feedback & watch for toxic feedback, which discourages iterative development.
