I am running five agents across five projects from a terminal. Each one knows its codebase, its context, its constraints. I am not writing code. I am not picking libraries. I am not reading documentation. I am telling a system what needs to exist, and the system is building it, and I am watching and directing and occasionally catching it before it does something stupid.

And I feel like a god.

Not the arrogant kind. The kind that finally gets to do the actual work — the thinking, the deciding, the problem-solving — without paying the tax that thirteen years of coding always charged before I could get there.

This is the thing nobody says clearly enough: I never wanted to memorise syntax. I never enjoyed picking between libraries or configuring environments or writing boilerplate. I love concepts. I love problems. The implementation was always the tax. The part you paid to reach the part that mattered.
