For twenty years, the job was the same. A person points, clicks, types, and navigates to a result, and we design every step of that path. Software waits. The human is the engine. Agents break that. When software can understand what you want and act on its own to get there, the interface stops being…

We once delivered a project in six weeks. It felt fast. The demo landed, the client was happy, and we walked out of the room feeling like heroes. Then we spent the next six weeks stabilizing it. I think about that project a lot, because it taught me something that no estimate ever shows you:…
