The big disagreement
Thariq tells agent multitaskers to slow down, dax refuses

Theo says his vibe-coded pieces all collapsed in one night
Theo describes a night where the vibe coded pieces collapsed in front of him, concluding engineers are still very much necessary, and splitting the blame between GitHub and AI. Kent C. Dodds picked it up and argued the thing still missing is latent knowledge, the instinct that a suggestion is bad before you can say why.
That's the stuff sitting in the back of your mind that surfaces when someone makes a suggestion in a meeting and you instantly know it's a bad idea but it takes you a second to articulate.
How they actually work
dax runs one pinned session that farms everything out to subagents
dax says his desktop app work runs through a single pinned session that does all the actual work in subagents, sometimes in different worktrees when a change is complicated. He feeds it ideas and fixes as he uses the app, and it pops open HTML documents with before and after screenshots so he can pick an option.
