I thought I would share. I don't see this discussed much and thought it was interesting (it's my own post) when doing some introspection today. Is it from moving up in my career and I just type a little less? Has the movement from typing in a code editor all day to writing more prose helped? It's hard to say for sure, but a fun observation. :) I am curious if anyone else has experienced the same.

This has been a welcome benefit from the agentic coding era for my RSI. Thanks for sharing.

It's generally also just less typing if you are using long running agents, you can input the goals, steer it a bit then go for a nice walk and check in again on it in 30-40mins. I hope we can normalise this workflow as it will be much better for everyones health and longevity in the field.
IMO LLMs are the best thing to happen to coding in my ~15 years of being in the game.
I wager they have probably added on another 5-10 years to my engineering career as I was contemplating getting out before they showed up.
Have also been convincing some friends that have "gone woods" over the years to put the woodworking tools down for a day or two and give them a go. So far so good, a few folks have found the spark again and it's been awesome to see them make digital things again too.

except management expectation will be that you spawn 30 different things and check them every 2 minutes

I'm so confused at how people think that this will be a reality, like, what kind of boss would look at this and go: yep sure my people will only work for a few minutes here and there, let's keep paying them their huge 6 figure salaries ??
am I missing something here..?

I recursively self-improve my shoe-tying powers every morning.
