The reality: distributed chaos that made me question my life choices.
Who else has lived through: • The "$$ - thinking!" messages multiplying faster than rabbits • That one agent that decides to take a vacation mid-transaction • The classic "rollback fail" that turns your elegant system into abstract art • Users wondering why it's "so slow..." while you're debugging cascade failures
What started as "just three agents talking" somehow turned into material worthy of a distributed systems PhD thesis. It's wild how quickly "simple agent communication" evolves into a master class in distributed systems, eventual consistency, and prayer-driven development.
But here's the thing - if you've never had your multi-agent system burst into flames, are you even building something interesting?
