Zack Proser from WorkOS argues that human attention, not agent speed, is the real bottleneck in AI-assisted coding. He proposes a sustainable stack: signal layers to filter Slack and Linear, voice-first flows at 184 wpm, remote control of agents from a phone to leverage diffuse thinking, and weekly self-improvement passes over JSONL conversation history. He also integrates an Oura ring via MCP so Claude can nudge him about sleep, emphasizing balance over burnout.
