Building AI agents is hard. Most attempts end up with brittle systems that break in production, cost too much to run, or worse - make costly mistakes that could have been prevented.

Fortunately, there are several core principles that I’ve learned while building agents that actually work. Hope you find it useful!

I made Dynobase [1], an alternative GUI for DynamoDB. Passed 2k/mo few years ago. Runs 100% automatically now, I spend ~2h/week mostly responding to customer inquiries. I could leave my full time job but I just like it (and money) too much.
