"I got into this profession precisely because I wanted to give precise instructions to a machine and get exactly what I want."

So you didn't get into this profession to be lead then eh?

Because essentially, that's what Thomas in the article is describing (even if he doesn't realize it). He is a mini-lead with a team of a few junior and lower-mid-level engineers - all represented by LLM and agents he's built.

Yes, correct. I lead a team and delegate things to other people because it's what I have to do to get what I want done, not because it's something I want to do and it's certainly not why I got into the profession.
