Agent Management Is Exhausting

The state of development in early 2026 is all wrapped around learning how to manage many agents running in parallel. Everyone’s trying to figure out the workflow. The Plan Is Everything The secret I’ve discovered is a good, well-defined plan. This could be a markdown file or a GitHub issue. Agents are actually great at writing these for you. They’ll include reproduction steps, outline changes needed, and structure the work. This is your opportunity to step in. Read the plan. Look for hallucinations. Spot where it’s going off track. Edit the plan before the agent starts coding. I had one today where it laid out reproduction steps beautifully, but I could add context about network requests that completely changed the approach. This editing phase is what most people are missing right now. Skip it and you’ll watch your agent solve the wrong problem with impressive efficiency. The Pace Problem Here’s what nobody warned me about: managing these things is exhausting. Depending on the day, age…

Stop Using Boomer Ai

I was listening to these guys talk about migrating off of boomer ai the other day. Introducing the term boomer ai to describe using chat, copy, paste instead of agents. Something magical happened to the tooling and models around december, they got really good. The chatgpt $20 plan hooked into opencode is good, the Free models in Opencode Zen (Big Pickle and Kimi K2.5 Free) are really good. Neither of these quite match up to the speed and quality of the larger plans, but they are good. good enough to throw away your boomer ai techniques and start using agents. Agents are the future, and they are here now. If you are still using chat, copy, paste, you are doing it wrong. Stop using boomer ai and start using agents. You will be amazed at how much better your results will be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dmPKuTWbsI

I’m back from the dead pype.dev ↗
I’m back from the dead The flu hit me like a freight train right at the start of the year, along with the most stress I've ever felt at work dropping on me at the same time, I've... My mental data-lake · pype.dev I’m jelous… as I was getting better, I got kicked down again. cant hold a conversation without coughing. Its hitting people from all over like crazy this year. so glad its just the flu and not something seriously harmful for hospitalization.

Mentions

I can now just mention people from my markata Waylon Walker Blogroll like @simonwillison or @swyx.io /now /now /now Aside This is an aside!

I Hope This Email Finds You Before I Do I Hope This Email Finds You Before I Do Last Week in AWS · lastweekinaws.com This post was filled with real life, snark, entertainment, feelings. I get a lot of these emails that claim they can change my SEO game if I give them 500, for a site making 0, Link partnerships from small startups. A lot of these are so automated that if I do respond I dont even get a response. I’ve responded to many simply asking what is this about, I get 10 others just like you a week. Can you tell me what exactly you want and what each of us benefit from it, how did you find me. All normal questions, they almost always result in crickets, no response, maybe its time to implement a Billie for more snark.

I really wish I would have got this right a few years ago. Theres a couple of flags I had to use to get mdformat to do hard wraps at 80 characters and not wreck tables. This mix of flags and plugins is workign really well for me so far.

mdfmt() {
    uvx \
        --with "mdformat-ruff" \
        --with "mdformat-beautysh" \
        --with "mdformat-web" \
        --with "mdformat-config" \
        --with "mdformat-gfm" \
        --with "mdformat-front-matters" \
        --with "mdformat-wikilink" \
        --with "mdformat-simple-breaks" \
        mdformat \
        --wrap 80 \
        --end-of-line lf \
        --codeformatters python \
        --codeformatters bash \
        "$@"
}

And as pre-commmit.

What no one is talking about is that Deegs doesn’t get the red plate without Anstie on the ground.

What is that

I was unironically asked what is that about my keeb today. Followed by no way that works, how would you type a, s, y, u, after showing, I go the “that’s weird” walk away.
