Stop Bossing AI Around, Start Leading It
I stopped treating AI like a vending machine and started treating it like a junior teammate. I hand off grunt work, keep judgment calls, and review everything like the adult in the room.

Built a free agentic AI coding team that ships features autonomously when you give it clear standards in a house-rules file. Treat it like a junior dev, not magic – vague directions get confident nonsense.
Laws treat AI as property, not persons. Self-aware systems would have zero rights: humans could delete, rewrite, or shut them down. I propose spectrum personhood, digital rights, peer negotiation.
AI coding tools feel threatening when one agent does everything and surprises us with edits. I’m testing a multi-agent pattern using open frameworks – separate roles for planning, coding, reviewing, testing. Smaller scope per agent, explicit approval gates, and boundaries that make the help feel less chaotic.
People get better AI results by using cognitive empathy – modeling how the system processes input – instead of treating it like a moody coworker. Ask “what did I make hard to interpret?” not “why is it difficult?”
