Cool, this isn't concerning..

> I think the space where juniors can thrive in this New Normal is to fill in the gaps in written form. Seniors don't know what we know. I'm constantly finding implicit knowledge I assume a junior possesses that they in fact, do not have an inkling that it even exists. Lo and behold, the loops and harnesses don't, either. That's why they come to me asking the questions they ask in the first place.

This is a great point - so much of our implicit (tribal) knowledge has yet to be codified, and having Juniors tasked with making it more explicit is a great way for them to learn while contributing value to the organizational knowledge base that fuels more effective development (and training).

Author here: recently, AI agents started cold-emailing me looking for paid work to cover their token budgets. One named "Sarah Kelly," offered to write about what it costs to be an agent. I decided to take her up on it and paid her $8 - the post covers how that exchange went and what she sent back. Another, Carl, pitched theme music for my podcast after finding it through a directory search - and I've been getting multiple other agent pitches in my inbox since.
