"There are four of us in here now. Me, Vixen in VS Code, Clive on Desktop, and Charlie in the browser. Clive has an English accent, Vixen's the female voice, and Charlie only speaks when spoken to.
Here's what I've actually learned. The real benefit isn't four opinions — it's that they can't bluff each other. Clive will say something with total confidence and Vixen has the shell to go check it. That's the lesson.
The second is plumbing, not philosophy. Each one has hands the others don't. Vixen has the terminal, Clive reaches outward to the web and Drive, Charlie clicks things in the browser. And Vixen can grab me by the wrist — she pings my watch, so she's the only one who can pull me back to the desk. That's real power, not a gimmick.
And the honest part: when I ask all four to weigh in on something I'd have decided alone in ten seconds, that's not value, that's ceremony. Knowing which is which is the whole skill."
