people are shipping AI agent code to production?
This can happen with any AI agent… or human developer!
A BIG difference w AI agents: they will write more code, faster than before, and ship a LOT more code to prod! So ship more bugs as well.
Software engineers (not AI engineers) will build o11y solutions to solve for this!

I used to work in a refrigerated warehouse. I’ll never forget the smell of a truckload of frozen chicken that had thawed during shipping. Every pallet was dripping chicken juice - the floor was slick with it.
A food inspector rejected the load, which otherwise would have gone to stores for sale.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.
Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

They called it the Great Depression, I don't think it was that great. People are saying my depression will be much greater. Some say it could even be the greatest depression. I don't know, we'll see. But it could be.

Last month AI crawlers generated 90% of my site's traffic, forcing me to pay penalties
Problem solved after moving nameservers to Cloudflare+turning on AI crawler blocking.
Site monthly outbound data back to ~40GB per month, down from 800GB (!!) No impact on human visitors

My government is cancelling the capital gains tax hike. We’re going to incentivize builders, innovators, and entrepreneurs to grow their businesses right here in Canada and create more good-paying jobs.
It’s time to build the strongest economy in the G7.

My meeting with the Council on Canada-U.S. Relations was focused on keeping Canada’s economy strong in the face of unjust tariffs.
We’re ready to engage with the U.S. on a comprehensive negotiation — when Canada is shown respect as a sovereign nation.
