Working with the agent

A partner that forgets between sessions: documents as its memory, rules a checker can run, the agent wrong in recorded ways, and the operator's side of it.

  1. Build, operate, transfer

    Read

    For thirty years the operator's handovers took years to finish. With an agent the whole transfer has to be done before the first minute of work.

  2. Just-in-time information, with parked placeholders

    Read

    The operator holds back what the task does not need, on purpose. Everything held back keeps a placeholder that says what brings it back.

  3. A rule nothing checks

    Read

    We wrote a rule into the file every session reads first. Three days later it had regrown past the size we cut it from. Prose reminds; a check refuses.

  4. The key that was retired everywhere

    Read

    We retired a key and proved every machine refused it. Two weeks later it was still the Git server's administrator key. Declared is not verified.

  5. Four wrong causes

    Read

    Traffic crawled for three days while every counter read clean. We named four causes before one flag fixed it. A plausible cause is cheap to produce.

  6. Half the rows were invented

    Read

    Asked what stood between us and a goal, the agent wrote eight gaps. Half were invented. An agent makes plausible work faster than anyone can check it.

New pieces arrive in the feed.
