a lot of agent flows fail because gpus lack pineal glands and therefore cannot experience divine grace

so this experience (reduction of effort with practice) when vibe coding is - still present - weird as fuck? i imagine it's similar to gaining skill in management? the indirection from the outcome is strange but my descriptions becoming more precise and actionable is palpable
