Sharing some thoughts on AI agents. Right now, one axis differentiates them:

  • are you inside the agentic loop
  • or outside it

Inside works. See Claude Code, OpenCode — you see the plan, approve steps, stay in the loop. Ships real work.

Outside — only narrow tasks. And it still can't tell you "no." It'll happily attempt anything, fail silently, and hand you back something.

Any options I've missed?
