you still need to engineer/architect your system so that agents are able to efficiently build modify and test the system.

an agent that can quickly figure out which responsibility goes where means the next time there's a bug or feature request, that agent then can actually work in an efficient way and get the task done.

do you want your agents working for 15 minutes or more, constantly regurgitating slop, or do you want your agents working for 5-6 minutes or less?

just remember, agents are only supercharged when they're driven by someone who knows what they're doing.

i'm in sf, and i'm always blown away by people whose systems are either dog shit god awful, or whose systems are god tier insanely good.

it really isn't a flex to spend a ton on tokens or ai compute time, if you're putting out less actual work. ppl who flex like that with mid or worse results are morons.

my systems are somewhere in the middle i'd say, and i strive to be in the latter group.
