David noticed: Agent timelines reflect a pre-AI-agent world and should be challenged
David pushed back on a pessimistic delivery timeline, articulating that multi-agent parallelism fundamentally changes what can be shipped in a single day.
When the agent for the snitch MCP connector laid out a cautious multi-week build plan, David rejected the framing directly:
youre giving timelines based on a pre-AI agent world. youre extremely smart and can spawn agents to build this and we can do it all today. weve done more in less time. recalibrate
This is a recurring calibration David applies when working with Claude Code: timeline estimates that assume sequential single-model execution are systematically too conservative once parallel subagent delegation is available. Telling the agent to recalibrate its expectations is part of how David runs the session.
