While the AI is running, go work on something else. Go write a doc, or write a test, answer an email, work on another part of your feature that won't interfere with the AI, etc

I know some people have trouble with the context switching but I've been full stack at small companies my whole career so I context switch constantly every day so I'm used to it.

This is very cool. I think the primary innovation here is twofold:

1. Remote agent - it's a containerized environment where the agent can run loose and do whatever - it doesn't need approval for user tasks because it's in an isolated environment (though it could still accidentally do destructive actions like edit git history). I think this alone is a separate service that needs to be productionized. When I run claude code in my terminal, automatically spin up the agent in an isolated environment (locally or remotely) and have it go wild. Easy to run things in parallel

2. Deep integration with fly. Everyone will be trying to embed AI deep into their product. Instead of having to talk to chatgpt and copy paste output, I should be able to directly interact with whatever product I'm using and interact with my data in the product using tools. In this case, it's deploying my web app

Because summarizing is one of the few things LLMs are generally pretty good at. Plus you should use the summary to determine if you want to read the full source, kind of like reading an abstract for a research paper before deciding if you want to read the whole thing.

Bonus: the high quality source is going to be mostly AI written anyway

I think that the future of local LLMs is delegation. You give it a prompt and it very quickly identifies what should be used to solve the prompt.

Can it be solved locally with locally running MCPs? Or maybe it's a system API - like reading your calendar or checking your email. Otherwise it identifies the best cloud model and sends the prompt there.

Basically Siri if it was good

Yes and other engineering disciplines have certifications and organizations that require you to pass exams to prove you have the knowledge

They also tend to pay less

Preparing for interviews is a small price to pay
