Maggie Appleton on planning with agents

Thoughtful. And a great way to 'present' a 'presentation'

"Humans are not efficient readers. We can read about 240 words a minute, and an agent can write about 4,500, which is 19 times faster than we can read. So there’s a huge mismatch between the amount of text agents produce and the amount we can consume.

We get tired, we skim, and we miss important details. This is one reason why so many people report burnout and exhaustion with agentic work.

They’re trying to make hard choices all day while swamped in dense, hard-to-use interfaces. This is a poor medium for deep work and complex problem-solving."
