The Agents Are Not the Bottleneck. You Are.
A technical and reflective thesis about the human-attention bottleneck created when agent execution becomes abundant, why parallel activity is not accepted throughput, and why mature orchestration needs admission control for decisions, review, exceptions, and closure.
Standard publication cards
Enough context to choose the next serious read without turning the corpus into a wall of summaries.
I Was Summoning Ghosts Until I Learned to Build the Machine
A candid personal technical narrative about temporary cognitive instruments, fragmented thought, false breakthroughs, accumulated scar tissue, and the moment Git and software-delivery discipline turned conversation into a cockpit and the repository into durable memory.
