A better path to agent autonomy is running waves, finding friction, and iterating

The post argues that the problem with “dark factories” is not autonomy itself, but teams trying to grant autonomy before they have a workflow they can trust.
It suggests a simpler loop:
- run a wave of several agents on separate tickets
- observe where the workflow breaks down
- fix the process
- repeat
It ends by asking what the biggest point of friction is in your current agent workflow.
