I'm finally learning that AI agents amplify your habits. All of them. The good and the bad. I skipped planning for twenty years. Believed in DRY but never enforced it with tooling. Knew principles mattered but never wrote them down. I got away with it because I could hold it all in my head. With 100+ agents, I couldn't anymore. Those habits scaled. And at scale, they broke everything. So I separated planning from execution. Started codifying rules I had been carrying around in my head for years. The harness I built to constrain agents ended up constraining me first. Six posts on building agent guardrails. Turns out the biggest guardrail was on me.
