78% of enterprises have AI agent pilots.
Only 14% have one actually running at production scale.

That's not a model quality problem.
That's a deployment problem.

@curiousharish Try @deployment_io

[Deployment.io @deployment_io]

Coding agents have been deleting production data.

When we built https://t.co/LCsLoO0VKh, we made the agents environment-aware from day one. Any production deploy requires human approval - the reviewer sees the diff, commits, and a summary of what the agent changed.

Humans in the loop where it matters.

[Ankit Arora @ank_aro]

What if your production errors just fixed themselves overnight?

We built this in two steps.

[Deployment.io @deployment_io]

We set up a Claude Code scheduled task that pulls production error logs every hour and opens PRs to fix them.

Here's what it looks like 👇

@jeffzwang Our MCP server only exposes the tools an AI agent can call based on OAuth scopes.
So the agent’s context window only contains capabilities it’s actually allowed to use.
A CLI API wrapper usually exposes the entire command surface via docs, so the agent sees everything.

[Ankit Arora @ank_aro]

@Al_Grigor Any agent touching the production environment must always ask for human approval. This is the first thing that we built for the https://t.co/miQYoWCKLS MCP server.

@TomMcMurtryNZ @kaustubhasutra @growing_daniel IMHO, it’s the basis of Karma Yoga, where you focus on the right actions and you’re detached from the success or failure of your actions.

@MohapatraHemant Thanks for sharing. The rant about platforms is timeless and makes so much sense today with AI. It’s a good lesson for startups to think about platforms from the beginning.

[Hemant Mohapatra @MohapatraHemant]

As a result of this engg::product::sales tussle, we 2nd guessed if we were (1) platform or product (2) for developers or enterprises, serving (3) new age cloud-native cos or everyone. Steve yegge has a legendary rant on #1: https://t.co/hf3rtIrG2D. KNOW WHO YOUR CUSTOMERS ARE!

Everybody wanna be a bodybuilder but nobody wants to lift heavy ass weights.

If you want to be a startup founder and you have a great idea, it won’t mean a thing until you design it, PM it, code it, and release it. Then you’ve got to sell it, market it, and make it better.

[Ankit Arora @ank_aro]

@BhavanChand @divyamkaushi @iam_preethi Ok. What do you think is more important for lifting weights? Calcium or protein?

[Ankit Arora @ank_aro]

@BhavanChand @divyamkaushi @iam_preethi Now change the metric from protein to fiber, then you’ll get my point.

Idea is to have a holistic and balanced diet that can provide all the essential macro and micronutrients to the body.

If only eggs were enough for us to survive, life would have been so easy.

[Ankit Arora @ank_aro]

@BhavanChand @divyamkaushi @iam_preethi Get 1gm of leucine from one bowl of dal and get the remaining from the paneer bhurji along with some peanut butter :-).

[Ankit Arora @ank_aro]

@BhavanChand @divyamkaushi @iam_preethi That’s the point. When people over index on a high protein diet, they can miss out on other important nutrients that the body needs :-).

ex. Just eating lentils as condiments might not be enough for a vegetarian but could be fine for a non vegetarian eating eggs.

[Ankit Arora @ank_aro]

@BhavanChand @divyamkaushi @iam_preethi Why not have a balanced diet containing peanuts, lentils, and cottage cheese to get the required leucine?

Peanuts and lentils are an excellent source of antioxidants and fiber. Why miss on those?
