This is what software engineers need to be more productive:

- Agentic DevOps: provisions infra and solves platform issues as soon as a support ticket is created.

- Agentic Technical Writer: one GenAI agent writes the docs and keeps the wiki up to date, while another 100 agents review it all and flag hallucinations.

- Agentic Manager: attends meetings, parses emails and logs 24x7 and creates daily reports, shares these reports with other teams, and manages the calendar of the developers to shield them from distractions.

- Agentic Director: spots patterns in the data and approves things faster, without the fear of getting fired.

- Agentic CEO: helps with decision-making, gives motivational speeches, and aligns vision with strategy.

- Agentic Pet: a virtual mascot you have to feed four times a day, Monday to Friday, from your office's IP address. Miss a meal and it dies, and HR gets notified. (This was my boss's idea)



In case of holiday/sick leave do i need to find someone to feed the agentic pet from my ip address? Or is my manager responsability?


Im pretty passive here, but i did log in to upvote this :)
