Agents are eating software engineering. Yet teams deploying these tools face mixed results. Agents work great in demos but fail unreliably in production, frustrating engineering teams who expected better. The gap isn't model quality—it's environment readiness. Agents need fast feedback loops, explicit instructions, and predictable environments to work effectively. They break on missing environment variables, undocumented dependencies, and tribal knowledge that "everyone just knows." What if you could measur ...
