Your job has shifted: you now make 10–20 high-stakes decisions before lunch

When you're managing AI agents at scale, you have to shift your expectation of what your work actually is. In the past, you might have had the luxury of two or three high-stakes decisions per day — an important meeting, a key customer call, a couple of choices that then got executed over two weeks. That era is over. Now, you have to mentally pace yourself to accept that by lunch you're going to have made somewhere around 10 to 20 high-stakes decisions. The job is no longer coding or executing; the job is judgment, almost all day long.
