My agent pipeline runs for hours, survives Ctrl+C, and resumes from where it stopped. There's no Temporal, no queue, no database. The state lives in YAML files and commits.

A maintenance agent filed 559 bugs and fixed 412 on its own. The interesting number is the 14 it refused to touch.

Feature branches and merge queues were how we coped with slow humans. When an agent finishes a task in ten minutes, the overhead is the bottleneck.

I stopped feeding hospital PDFs to a vision model. When the layout changes, the AI fixes the parser instead — and production never sees a token.

Most builders assume end-of-turn detection is a silence threshold. That model breaks in production. The fix is architectural: four probabilistic events, speculative reasoning, and everything downstream cancellable.

An 8th specialist that touches the browser — navigating, clicking, and typing to find bugs that scripted journeys miss. How exploratory testing with Playwright catches what verification alone cannot.

Seven specialists, each with their own checklist — QA, UX, UI, Security, Performance, Data Leakage, Language. How splitting evaluation into focused agents catches more.

The leap from AI-assisted coding to autonomous batch processing. Fresh context per task, filesystem locks, model routing, and orchestration that runs while you sleep.
