I believe we (software engineers) have tried hard to eliminate taste in programming: linters, git message styles, you name it. And I think that's a good thing. Taste is not transferable. Consistent code is.

What I see most engineers do is parallelize. Have multiple agents work at the same time. It takes some time getting used to, but I think they are on to something.

There's even an article I read about this the other week, but I can't seem to find it ATM.

What? That's fantastic news! I've been uncomfortable handling receipts ever since (a long time ago) I learned about BPAs in them.
