DevEx === AgentEx

If your system is well designed for developers, it works for agents. If your system is well designed for agents, it may or may not work for developers.

The constraints are converging faster than most teams realize.

  • Deterministic APIs; schema-first, minimal guesswork
  • Executable docs; structured examples, not prose
  • Tooling primitives; predictable CLI, composable skills
  • Fast feedback loops; simulate β†’ run β†’ eval
  • Observability; traces, evals, clear failure modes

Humans get tired from reading. Agents don’t. Everything else is the same.

Most systems aren’t designed for that yet.
