Most actions live between those poles. That middle is the actual design work.

Tier your agent by reversibility: how many actions would still need you standing over them?

Your agent can create_draft. It cannot send.

That one missing verb is the shape of almost every connector shipping today. 🪚

[Manuel Jiménez @manjime]

The lazy fix is a blanket block. The real one is to gate on consequences, not the verb.

Report to your own inbox: reversible, auto-run it.
Mass external send: gate it, review it, log it.

Then treat bad output as training data. Update the spec at the end of every session or it rots into a doc nobody trusts.

Which workflow of yours still lives only in your head?

Most of what you call "one task" is 5-10 steps you never made explicit.

"Land a deal" is prospecting, enrichment, pitch, call prep, negotiation, contract, delivery.

You cannot automate a black box you have never opened.

[Manuel Jiménez @manjime]

Prioritize by hours per month times repeatability. Not by what is fun to wire up.

The boring high-frequency work wins every time.

[Manuel Jiménez @manjime]

The agent was never the hard part. 🧩

Getting an agent to run a task takes one line. Writing down what the task actually is takes weeks.

[Manuel Jiménez @manjime]

Code generation got cheap. Everything downstream of it (judgment, maintenance, distribution) didn't.

What's actually the bottleneck on your team: writing code, or reviewing what got written?

Half a million new apps landed on the App Store in 2025, the biggest surge in almost a decade. Usage didn't move an inch. 🪦

[Manuel Jiménez @manjime]

Karpathy, who coined "vibe coding," put it plainly: 0 to 90% is magic. 90 to 100%, security, auth, deploy, payments, edge cases, is where almost every project dies.

[Manuel Jiménez @manjime]

Clone a category leader and you won't compete with it, you'll be invisible next to it.

Where do you think the durable margin sits in this cycle: models, infrastructure, or apps?

It was the people selling picks, shovels, and durable pants. Most miners who spent everything chasing a nugget went broke instead.

[Manuel Jiménez @manjime]

There's a distribution problem hiding underneath this too. Apple says 70% of people discover apps by searching the store, but 90% never scroll past the tenth result.
