Don't waste your back pressure ·
Back pressure for agents You might notice a pattern in the most successful applications of agents over the last year. Projects that are able to setup structure around the agent itself, to provide it with automated feedback on quality and correctness, have been able to push them to work on longer horizon tasks. This back pressure helps the agent identify mistakes as it progresses and models are now good enough that this feedback can keep them aligned to a task for much longer. As an engineer, this means you can increase your leverage by delegating progressively more complex tasks to agents, while increasing trust that when completed they are at a satisfactory standard.
