Thank you for these writings. Business speak has always been a weakness in my professional life, and 'get shit done' has been a mantra. IMHO corporate environments would benefit from agents reminding everyone of the common objective and how the work planned achieves it. Even though it was tiresome to hear that from a team leader on every meeting (for a project that was successful) i missed it every week in a team that obviously folded after 4 billion dollar investment. I quit corporate life right after. Of course, corporations only want the employees that can get the grain from the chaff, but that is difficult to achieve in large corporations with lots of middle management layers

Glad this was helpful! Connecting work to actual business needs is definitely a learned skill and the corporate environment doesn’t always make it easy. It’s something I’ve struggled with as well.

Wow! This is very well written in a simple, easy to understand way :)

Now, I am looking forward to learn more from your posts. BTW I loved the traditional "10x Engineer" comparison. Being an agentic engineer is about more than technical skill; it’s about understanding the business, remaining endlessly curious, and taking initiative to build and deliver value. In the AI era, these qualities are increasingly crucial, as the speed of innovation rewards those who can independently identify and solve the most pressing problems.

Is it possible if you could redirect me to your posts or any other worthy reads here at substack or outside, around building agents with hands-on ?

I don’t have anything on this (yet!). But I know a lot of people enjoyed this: https://open.substack.com/pub/diamantai/p/your-first-ai-agent-simpler-than

Great read! 👍 I think the natural born generalists will excel in this new agentic Era. The people who dabble in everything and don't specialize in one thing. They're the systems thinkers, usually good problem solvers too.

Thanks Kyle! I think specialists will be in super high demand. AI already makes generalizing much easier.
