Code like a surgeon

A surgeon isn’t a manager, they do the actual work! But their skills and time are highly leveraged with a support team that handles prep, secondary tasks, admin. The surgeon focuses on the important stuff they are uniquely good at.

Geoffrey Litt of Notion has a great metaphor for working with AI -- work like a surgeon, not like a manager or editor. "When I sit down for a work session, I want to feel like a surgeon walking into a prepped operating room. Everything is ready for me to do what I’m good at."
