A Game Dev by Heart.

About

Blake Copeland has been gaming since the PS2 days and hasn't stopped since. From grinding RPGs to messing around with indie word puzzles, gaming is basically a full time hobby at this point. Blake writes about gaming trends, new tech, and whatever weird update just dropped, all in plain talk with zero fluff. No fancy jargon here, just honest takes from someone who actually plays the games. When not writing or gaming, Blake is probably arguing about which word game app has the best daily puzzle.

Your agent does something wrong. How far does it reach before anyone notices?

Two months ago I asked here how people stay aware of what their agents are doing, and @getosmo replied with something that has been quietly rearranging my roadmap since.

I had been treating "can you undo it" as the line for when an agent should stop and ask. He took that apart. Irreversibility over-fires and under-fires, he said. It over-fires on things that cannot be undone but that nobody cares about, like the agent writing a log line. It under-fires on the ones that really hurt: a mass email to 50k users, or a migration you can only roll back after downtime. "Reversible on paper, ruinous in practice."
