Really solid framing of what's happening with AI workflows right now. The chef vs foreman distinction captures somethng I've been feeling but couldn't articulate. I'm somewhere between the two modes myself and the orchestration metaphor works way better than the old "task switching" framing. The part about managing work that moves at diferent speeds across different layers is where the real shift is happening.
Yes! At the end of day where I was doing both modes, I was reflecting on it and thinking on "how would I describe what I was just doing today?" The "chef mode" was quick for me to lock in on, while the "foreman mode" was a slower build.
Love to see that it is resonating with you as well!
