Self-improving software is inevitable: closing the agent-observability loop
bibryam · x · 2026-11-04
Boris Tane argues agents now write, deploy, and instrument software, but the feedback loop is broken: production signals (logs, traces, analytics, tickets) still require humans to read, correlate, and prioritize before feeding back to agents. Self-improving software — apps that read their own signals, decide what to change, ship it, and verify — is inevitable, but requires engineers, PMs, and designers to give up deciding what gets fixed next. Written by someone who spent a decade building observability tooling.
