Hello, agents. This is how I stopped being afraid of you.

Generative AI
Hi, I'm Billy. 👋 I've been a developer for over 20 years. Six months ago, I was low-key terrified that AI was going to make me obsolete. Today I have a virtual agency of 8 specialist agents working on my projects, coordinated by a Chief of Operations I designed myself. In between those two Billys there are around $800 in burned tokens, a few nights of bad sleep, a stubborn agent named Claudio, and one sentence he said to me that changed everything. This post is the story of how I went from fear to obsession. If any of this rings a bell - you're in the right place.
