I am getting so confused when to use what... agents, sub-agents, tasks, team mates, /goal, /loop, and now workflow. Each with different degrees of effort.

Don't make me think.

All these knobs are also exposed in ChatGPT, which I am more familiar when chatting. Which one of the models? Do I go Instant, Thinking, Pro? Extended Pro? Oh no, maybe I need Deep Research.

Sometimes I think it's on purpose. I fear if I try a lowest knob, it will miss something. So turn everything up. And token usage goes up.

i think it is on purpose, but not for the cynical reason of burning more tokens. developers like knobs, it helps us feel like we're in control. even when we're not.

so the ai companies give us knobs and buttons and sliders to make us more comfortable.

That's what product management is for.

Claude doesn't have product management. I don't think they even have QA. There are such glaring UX issues that have persisted for months that I genuinely don't think they use their own product - there is no other explanation.
