I think harder because of AI.

I have to think more rigorously. I have to find ways to tie up loose ends, to verify the result efficiently, to create efficient feedback loops and define categorical success criteria.

I've thought harder about problems this last year than I have in a long time.

So... you didn't have to do that prior to using agents?

Not as much upfront. I had plenty of opportunities to adjust and correct along the way. With AI, the cost of not thinking upfront is high and the cost of being wrong in upfront decisions is low, so we bias towards that.

But beyond that, I have been thinking deeply about AI itself, which has all sorts of new problems. Permissions, verification, etc.
