Comment from Alexander Polozhnov(@alex_dev_user): I've felt this exact pain with local agents going idle while I'm checking Twitter.

... check the agent's plan before letting it execute - They commit small, review often, and roll back without ego - They treat the agent as a fast intern who needs clear briefs The 'just vibe it' framing makes for good Twitter content. The people actually shipping production code with AI look more like senior engineers running a tight async team. Maybe vibe coding scales when it stops being vibey?

... founders about why they don't post on LinkedIn. Almost all of them say "I don't have time" at first. But when I dig deeper, that's not really it.
