## AI overview

This opinion article examines how agentic development can increase individual speed while making collaboration harder. It distinguishes learning work, such as testing hypotheses and building experiments, from other engineering work even when both produce code, and presents practical ideas for working together again.

## Source excerpt

Agentic speed turned all of us into super-ICs and broke our ability to collaborate. Two types of work that both produce code, and three recipes for working together again: a safe perimeter for experiments, shared rules everybody pays for, and an intent log your agents write themselves.
