I Tried Building an Agent System and It Fell Apart Fast

Everyone's hyped on autonomous agents. I thought I'd try to build one for fun — something that would read dev docs and summarize them. Sounded simple.

Turns out, it's not. You need parsing logic, memory, retries, fallbacks, throttling, task queues. The LLM makes up stuff constantly. The memory doesn't persist right. It was like watching a toddler try to run a company.

I still think the idea is cool. But we're not there yet. Or at least I'm not.
