Letting the agent cook (and actually saving time)

Kirupa’s back with a banger. The part that stuck with me is how much time disappears in the agent’s “inner loop” — waiting, redoing, nudging, then waiting again — and how aggressively he trimmed that down. I’m usually picky about stack choices, but I’ve started doing the same thing: if the agent can get to a working prototype faster in a different lane, I let it, then I come back and make it humane.
