Deep-dive stories hand-picked by Subhankar — the ones that deserve more than a headline.
Wharton professor Ethan Mollick argues that extending Codex/Cowork/Code agent tools to knowledge work beyond software development faces a fundamental problem: these tools are "software-brained," optimizing for the final artifact (codebase, slides, docs) as source of truth while discarding the exploratory process — dead ends, alternatives, learning loops, failed experiments — that defines real knowledge work. 💡 The most valuable output of knowledge work isn't just the deliverable — it's the process artifacts (what was tried and discarded) that future work builds on. As agentic tools expand beyond coding, they need "Git for thinking" — version control for reasoning trails, not just code. **Tags:** #EthanMollick #Codex #AgenticTools #KnowledgeWork #SoftwareBrained #VibeCoding
