Some tasks are faster than cognitive load to create a prompt and then wait for execution.

Also if you like doing certain tasks, then it is like eating an ice cream vs telling someone to eat an ice cream.

And the waiting is somewhat frustrating, what am I supposed to do while I wait? I could just sit and watch, or context switch to another task then forget the details on what I was originally doing.

I think you’re supposed to spin up another to do a different task. Then you’ll be occupied checking up on all of them, checking their output and prodding them along. At least that’s what Anthropic said you should do with Claude Code.

If I wanted to be an EM, I'd apply for that job.

I typically just think of more ideas, prompts, etc. while I wait.

The thing is others will eat ice cream faster so very soon there'll be no ice cream for me.
