Seroter's reading list: making agents fast, WIP as the new delivery bottleneck
rseroter · x · 2026-11-03
Richard Seroter's daily reading list #901 focuses on AI agent engineering:
- Making agents fast: 12 months of lessons on optimizing inference, tool calls, and hardware
- Stop blaming code review: AI's delivery problem is really about rethinking validation and testing beyond CI/CD
- Roblox tripled AI code review acceptance rates — recap of their approach
- WIP is the new bottleneck: massive parallel agent work doesn't help if validation can't keep up
- Case for defaulting agents to serverless, letting production data decide when a durable host is needed
Also: a16z's survey of 100 CISOs on rising AI-driven security budgets, generative UI with A2UI + CopilotKit, a Cloud Run instances deep dive, and Google Cloud growing 3.5x faster than Microsoft Cloud.
