The guidance to AI to "talk to me like I'm a sharp CEO who has no project context" feels particularly appropriate given the "ICs now act like managers of agents" trend we're seeing. It's a very parallel situation, actually. In a big company, you often need to prep briefs for execs who (if they're good) have strong instincts on the shapes of solutions that do and don't work and a deep understanding of org or company priorities so they can decide which proposed solution has the most favorable tradeoffs. The briefs need to be very info dense (not novels) but also super clear and standalone (not relying on context from past meetings that they either weren't in, or were dozens or hundreds of meetings ago for them). It takes a lot of work to make a good brief with those properties, a la "it's easier to write a long letter than a short one." But...how sweet if you can get to the point where that's just how your agent responds to you. You have instincts and understand your priorities better than it does, and it does the legwork to lay out the tradeoff space succinctly and clearly so you can weigh in as efficiently as possible.
