I’ve always been drawn to Adam Smith’s pin factory story. I first read it in high school, and it’s stayed with me ever since as a way to think about efficiency and productivity.
That same story has become one of the clearest mental models I use for building reliable multi-agent AI systems. Wrote about it here:

In the end, it was not about fancy large models or massive datasets. We chose to harness small learned models within well-established workflow tools such as state machines and behavior trees.
That made the system more predictable, debuggable, and easier to integrate.
@kenwheeler@chipro oh I see, yea I didn't mean (or recommend) purely 'agent driven' workflows. should definitely be using some sort of workflow lib to enforce this stuff, agreed.
AI agents aren’t employees. They’re interns.
Give them clear tasks, tight feedback loops, and guardails, and they can do incredible work. But don't leave them unsupervised.
