It's about the hardest agentic problem that has measurable results and will be adopted (because it's an engineering culture) that I can think of. RunWare have some good insights on this - much of the problem is context layer improvisation and repetition, and the only way out is an awful lot of diagnostic development.

And anything less than 90% accuracy on causal analysis is more work than doing everything by hand.

I would really like to see more people down my prompt engineering rabbit hole of trying to use ontology / compilation tricks to produce prompts from models rather than curating text. I have this working pretty well for complex tool interaction, without a JSON schema or template in sight.

Believe it or not, agents can run things like this:

e3{p13=e4(p14), p38=$} returns [e3] · Incremental collaboration signal (what changed and when). Poll to stay current; acknowledge so the server can advance your cursor · optional params: p38

An awful lot of problems can in fact be solved by 'more code' in fact. People seem to straw man this in terms of product feature surface.

A lot of places skip creation and maintenance of decent observability - that's code.

We can now easily use advanced, code heavy testing techniques like property testing - code.

We can create environmental simulations to speed up and improve integration testing - code.

We can lift up internal abstraction levels, replace boiler plate with frameworks, DSLs - code.
