// FIELD NOTES
How we build software with agents — the architecture, the quality gates, and the economics.

Token costs are measured in dollars; engineer-months are measured in tens of thousands. A first-principles look at where agentic development wins economically — and where it doesn't yet.
2026-07-07#quality#agents#testing
Agents can write code faster than humans can review it. The answer isn't more reviewers — it's a layered verification pipeline where most defects never reach human eyes.

Everyone claims to be "AI-powered" now. Here's the difference between sprinkling copilots on a legacy process and rebuilding the software delivery pipeline around agents from first principles.
