- Pay attention to your emotions and body. When you're tired, or scared you are making no progress, stop. Think. How can you delegate more? How can you drive the agent without your input? No micromanaging, the golden rule. If there's discomfort in this process that's more than just momentary, you're doing it wrong. I really believe that. Agents are the ultimate unlock. Think, then free your time to do other things, while the team works. Done well, it's incredibly liberating and satisfying.

- Use Copilot. 39/month for Copilot Pro+. 1500 Premium Requests. Oh look I'm all outta my "5 hour/weekly" limit after being a little too chatty with Opus, or seending Codex down a little too deep of a rabbithole. Fret not - the backup solution, ol Trusty Copilot is the way. Oftimes in recent days ye may have felt the CLI was doomed, buggy, crap. But trust me, Copilot has improved rapidly over the last few weeks. To me, much less buggy. And no limits. Only Premium Requests. And all the models you want, at least that I use. It's really good and useful.
