One of my thoughts as I’ve experimented with this:
Sometimes it is just correct to be in full-on-manager-mode.
But, there’s still a fair amount of work that requires deep attention and thought. I think a mode it is often good to be in is to have one major deep thread you are focused on, and some side-threads that are low stakes and the right shape such that you can throw Claude at them and come back in 30 min.
(There is a trap where you try to do this, but, end up spending all day doing AI-tasks that were easy to manage, but not actually that important)
