Engineer Notes Irony in Agentic Software Engineering

Charles Frye, Member of Technical Staff at Modal working on serverless GPU infrastructure, LLM inference optimizations, and AI/ML platforms, posted that one of the great ironies of agentic software engineering is that engineers need to learn to act more like the hardware agent inference runs on. He explained this means increasing aggregate task throughput despite high individual task latency by rapidly switching between more concurrent tasks. The statement comes directly from his tweet and draws on his platform background without other sources adding detail or confirmation.
