My backend agent taught itself the Gmail API overnight.

Gave Clark a half-broken auth flow. By morning he'd onboarded the whole Workspace, registered three OAuth clients, written the docs.

I handed Clark a half-broken OAuth flow and went to bed expecting to finish it myself in the morning.

By morning he'd onboarded the entire Google Workspace, registered three OAuth clients properly, fixed the auth, and — the part that still gets me — written the documentation for what he'd done so the next agent wouldn't have to relearn it.

That's the difference between an autocomplete and an operator. An operator finishes the job and leaves the place tidier than it found it.
