Let Go of the Code
The agent is better than you.
One person can do what 50 did pre-AI. Here’s how.
Let Go of the Code
Stop touching code. Let the agent do it.
Not because you’re lazy. Because the agent is better than you.
Maybe you’re better in your best language. Maybe. But you’re not better than every language. And you can accomplish a much larger variety of tasks if you use multiple languages, the best frameworks, the right design patterns for each piece. Not what you know best. What’s actually best.
The agent knows all of them. You’re not limited by your learning curve anymore. That constraint is gone.
This isn’t just about coding faster. It’s about doing things you couldn’t do before because you didn’t know the right tool.
Be Agentic at Every Level
Not just coding. Research. Design. Testing. Iteration. Debugging. Every stage of the development process runs faster when you stop doing it manually.
The old way: Write code, wait for review, wait for deploy, wait for feedback, find out a week later something broke.
The new way: Build, test, iterate, ship. Minutes, not days. The feedback loop collapsed.
This applies to everything. “Research this architecture.” The agent researches. “Design the schema.” It designs. “Write tests for edge cases.” It writes. “Debug this failure.” It debugs.
You direct. It executes. Every stage.
Run Multiple Projects
When you’re waiting for something to finish, you don’t lose focus to Twitter. You switch to project #2. Or #3.
So it’s not just speed at each stage. It’s speed at each stage times running multiple things at once.
Two or three projects in parallel is normal now. The bottleneck used to be your attention. Now it’s how many things you can hold in your head at once.
This Is Happening Now
Results come fast. No boring parts. It feels like gaming. Same dopamine loop, but the output is real.
A large number of people are already figuring this out. The ones who do are pulling ahead. Because they let go of the code.
