Claude and Paper

Engineers are talking about "token psychosis",

  1. Running lots of agents at the same time

  2. Stressed out when they're not using their token budget

  3. Stressed out when their agents are not running

I've always done a lot of engineering work on paper, figuring out relationships, page layouts, models, UX etc.

So now my approach is: when the agent is working, I don't stay on the laptop, I go back to paper and figure out the next step there. Claude and Paper.
