Are you stuck in the "messy middle" of AI adoption where individual productivity doesn't actually translate to organizational impact? This week on the Friday Deploy, Andrew and Ben break down the hilarious and terrifying realities of agentic intention drift, exploring how a "goblin" invasion in ChatGPT and poorly scoped tokens are wreaking havoc on production environments. They also navigate this messy organizational adoption phase, discussing why senior developers are accelerating while juniors stall out on the K-shaped productivity curve. Finally, the hosts wrap up with a look at the open-source renaissance of agentic harnesses like Lattice and Pi.dev.
