The agent manager role: trust, not code — Greg Isenberg's framing

Greg Isenberg reframes what it means to work with AI coding agents: you are no longer a developer deep in the code, you are an agent manager. Your job is to look at what's happening and decide whether to trust what the agent produced. The before-and-after visuals embedded in pull requests make that trust decision fast and intuitive — bite-sized, like clicking through Instagram or Snapchat Stories. Yes, no, merge, move on. The human's role shifts from writing and reviewing code line by line to managing a pipeline of agents and making high-level judgment calls.
