Your Attention Is the Bottleneck, Not Your Agents — Zack Proser, WorkOS

Method

This deck is reconstructed from the existing video frame captures by detecting likely slide regions with OpenCV, cropping/upscaling those regions, deduplicating similar crops, and OCRing the cropped slide images locally. It is a cleaner companion to the full-stage frame deck.

Reconstructed Slides

Recreated text/layout view: open HTML recreation
AI slide classifier: content_slide confidence 0.94
Text source: advanced OCR rapidocr-live/bright-screen/contrast.
OCR decision: ready — Screenshot-heavy slide with small UI/code text; OCR is likely better than manual transcription.

YOU'RE NOT IMAGINING IT

SIMON WILLISON - Lenny's Podcast, Apr 2 2026

I fire up 4 parallel agents and I'm wiped out by 11 AM. Finding our new limits is a personal skill we need to learn.

I'm seeing this in my own work on the Applied AI team.

Here's how I recommend finding developer balance.

Recreated text/layout view: open HTML recreation
AI slide classifier: diagram confidence 0.96
Text source: advanced OCR rapidocr-live/bright-screen/opencv-adaptive.
OCR decision: ready — Mixed diagram plus embedded screenshot with small labels; OCR should recover the detailed body copy and UI text better than manual triage.

Hidden Non-Slide Evidence

`slide-001.jpg` — sponsor_logo confidence 0.98; Sponsor/logo wall only.
`slide-006.jpg` — other confidence 0.0; missing batch classifier result
`slide-007.jpg` — speaker_stage confidence 0.98; Stage photo with presenter and audience; projected slide is not the primary readable slide frame.
