Recognize that expert-stage agents feel boring precisely
Recognize that expert-stage agents feel boring precisely because automaticity signals mastery—boredom with an agent is often evidence of successful maturation, not need for retirement.
Why This Is a Principle
Grounds in Expertise Transforms Perceptual Chunking (expertise changes chunk size), Expertise Through Deliberate Practice (expertise from deliberate practice), and Automaticity Without Conscious Control (automatic processes operate without awareness). The principle derives from these: when something becomes automatic, it disappears from consciousness—that's the goal, not a problem. Prescriptive about interpretation.
