Summary
A blog post by Addy Osmani arguing that as AI coding agents increasingly do meaningful work in the background, the highest-leverage developers act as “async-first managers” running a small fleet of parallel agents, and that core engineering-management skills — clear task scoping, delegation, verification loops, and async check-ins — transfer directly to doing this well. It sets out a two-mode model (local, human-in-the-loop sessions versus asynchronous background sessions), covers practical patterns such as git worktrees and explicit task-boundary rules for avoiding merge conflicts between parallel agents, and proposes a repeatable plan/spawn/monitor/verify/integrate/retro loop for running the resulting workflow.
