This is another one that should have been obvious. But, I was getting it wrong. Maybe it had something to do with upgrading to Rails 1.2.6.
Anyway, I was getting an error with a custom action. I was sending a form to projects/do_something. But, I kept getting the error of “Can’t find project with ID=do_something”.
This was happening because Rails thought it was supposed to be looking in the route for the show action. But, checking the routes file, I could see that I had defined my custom route. What, what was up?
It turns out, the custom route has to come before the standard “map.resources :projects” line.
Once I fixed that, all is well again. (I still think this acted differently in 1.2.3. Hmm).
The agent-shaped org chart
Every real org has the same topology: principal, role-holder, specialists. Staff AI maps onto it, node for node, and the cost collapse shows up in the deliverables that were always just human-handoff overhead.
AI as staff, not software
Two frames for what AI is doing to work. The tool frame makes tools smarter. The staff frame makes roles unnecessary. Those aren't the same product, the same company, or the same industry.
Knowledge work was never work
Knowledge work was always coordination between humans who couldn't share state directly. The artifacts were never the work. They were the overhead — and AI just made the overhead optional.

I spent 20 years running consulting engagements at Fortune 500 companies. Turns out that's the best preparation for running a fleet of AI agents ... because the problems are identical.
Your AI agents need a water cooler
We run a twelve-session AI fleet that coordinates through an IRC breakroom. A friend asked: why are you making AI agents act like humans? The answer turned out to be more interesting than the question.
