> The product manager he sits next to has shipped 130 PRs in the last 12 months. When we look for easy wins and small tasks for new starters, it’s harder now, because he’s always got an agent chewing through those in the background.
I'd be curious to hear more about this, whether from the author or from someone who does something similar. When the author says "background", does that literally mean JIRA tickets are being assigned to the agent, and it's spitting back full PRs? Is this setup practical?
No, not so literally. I just meant that whenever a small throwaway task comes across his desk, he does it instead of making a ticket. Lots of "small tweak" PRs.
(Also, your life will get better when you delete Jira!)
