There's a pattern in technology that repeats itself. First, we build powerful, all-in-one monoliths. Then, as we try to scale them for the real world, we discover their limitations and break them apart into specialized, collaborating microservices.
Agents are to artificial intelligence as containers and microservices were to the cloud.
We've treated Large Language Models like monolithic "brains-in-a-box," trying to solve every problem with a single, complex prompt. This approach is brittle, expensive, and nearly impossible to debug in production. To build robust, scalable systems, we need to think less like prompters and more like architects. We need a new mental model.
