What costs you more: wrong-element guesses or sub-agent drift?

Two ways my coding agent wastes my time.
One: I paste a screenshot and it edits the wrong element on a busy screen.
Two: it spins up sub-agents that wander off the task. Lately the wrong-element guess is the quieter, more frequent tax for me, but a few people swear the sub-agent drift is worse. Which one eats more of your day?

What's a line you won't cross to grow, even if it'd work?

I'll start with one I've often debated: "urgency". As in, fake countdown timers, or saying "you have 1 spot left" when there are infinite spots available.

The annoying part is that they work. Conversion rates go up by a few percentage points. So saying no isn't some clever long-game arbitrage where I secretly win in the end. It's just leaving money on the table because it makes me feel gross.

I'm ex-OCI and my former boss is now in charge of DigitalOcean.
