Two ways my coding agent wastes my time.
One: I paste a screenshot and it edits the wrong element on a busy screen.
Two: it spins up sub-agents that wander off the task. Lately the wrong-element guess is the quieter, more frequent tax for me, but a few people swear the sub-agent drift is worse. Which one eats more of your day?

Pasting a screenshot into a terminal agent is messier than it should be. On macOS Codex wants Ctrl+V, not Cmd+V. Claude Code on Windows wants Alt+V. Some terminals just eat the image. So people end up saving the shot to disk and referencing the path by hand, which kills the flow.

What's your real workflow, drag and drop, the --image flag, save-and-reference, something better? Trying to map how people actually do this.

In the month that I've been here, I've been noticing a pattern in a lot of launches - strong demos, polished UI, clear outputs of "what it does."

But when I ask myself "What problem does this solve?" I sometimes have to dig for the answer. (I come by that thinking honestly - I've spent 33 years building and fixing businesses, so this is the lens I can't turn off.)
