People are wasting their time building AI agents. A model on its own needs context to be useful: prompts and instructions, tools it can call, and data it can trust. The old way was to write code that wires those three to the model, call it agent one, and do it again for every workflow. Harnesses like Claude Code and Codex already let an AI read and write your files, so you can put your prompts, tools and data in folders and let one AI become whatever agent your question needs. If you want something to study for the next ten years, I'd pick the Unix philosophy, Douglas Engelbart's 1962 report Augmenting Human Intellect, and plain old software logic. The long version, Do You Actually Need AI Agents?, is on my YouTube. Link in my bio. youtube.com/@JEVanClief #ai #aiagents #claudecode
