Managing coding agents is easier than managing people.

If you're dealing with a person, you have to think about their emotions, their motivation, their intrinsic value as an end.

But agents don't have any of that.

If you throw out an agent's work, it doesn't feel anything at all.

If you treated employees like you do agents, you'd be an asshole.
