It is letting me hand real computer jobs to an agent: find the files, read the transcript, compare versions, render the artifact, check the result, and keep going until there is something real to inspect.In this episode, I walk through why the unit of work is changing, how my token dashboard became a receipt for agentic work, and why threads, goals, computer use, plugins, and skills matter for people who do knowledge work outside of code.
