AI engineering after 13 years of backend:
- Your agent is a wrapper over a loop
- The loop is a wrapper over LLM calls
- Each LLM call is a wrapper over an HTTP request
- The HTTP request needs a timeout, a retry and an idempotency key
- The retries need a budget
- The budget needs a rate limiter
- The rate limiter needs observability
- The observability needs evals, because a 200 OK can still be a wrong answer
And all of it is a wrapper over one simple truth: An agent is a distributed system that can hallucinate.

Watch Xi-era TV dramas & you can see how they view the Cultural Revolution. The concerns are very real and concrete, not idealist the way Western leftists argue about it. For example in this scene, rebel Red Guard factions almost accidentally leak nuclear state secrets👇👇👇

You have no idea how it works because you're not Shiite, that's it. They just fire and Allah guides their weapons.

During my post-grad course work with mental divergents there was a boy in a group home who was raw and wild and they would bribe him with “enjoyable activity ™️”
But he had to behave.
He would earn stars on his chart like a good boy and progress over the days towards the earned activity.
Always and at the last moment when he was one or two stars short of his (their) reward he would lash out, rip the blinds off the windows punch his head through drywall.
and all stars went back to zero and he would laugh and laugh as they physically restrained him on the mat
Much more than earning gay icecream activity he preferred LOSING - much more rewarding was the violence, the hysterics, the struggle
His name was Eric and i saw in him a vision of myself much more than I was prepared to openly admit

(Introducing my wife to Japanese business men I am making a deal with)
This is my woman mate. You will notice she is larger than I am in both height and weight. This is because I am a pervert.
(The business men nod vigorously with approval)

My son turned 20 and still lives at home
I told him it’s time to start paying rent… nothing much, just $1,800/month to help out
But here’s what he doesn’t know
I’m going to keep every penny he gives me, stick it in a savings account
And then when he finally buys a house of his own I’m going to get the most badass boat you’ve ever seen
