I'm convinced that the most important skill you can have for using AI agents is... delegation. It's almost exactly the same skill set as delegating to people. Maybe the main difference is that AI is trained not to need incentives. Are we all becoming managers now? Should we read HBR instead of HN?

- articulating goals, requirements and scope - giving clear feedback - decomposing tasks so they don't overlap for multiple workers - allocating limited resources to agents - understanding their capabilities and shortcomings - giving appropriate tools - delegating access and authority - sharing the right details without explaining everything - knowing what to trust when you can't see the details - judging based on outcomes - steering them when they know things you don't - creatively making use of their expertise, even when it goes beyond your own - juggling and context switching when delegating many tasks - handling feedback when your instructions or assumptions were flawed

Today I gave one of the most challenging talks I’ve ever done: Post-Quantum Cryptography. Explaining enough of the basics of cryptography and quantum mechanics to show why this matters, all in just an hour, was much harder than I thought it would be.
