  1. Our readingUsing synchronous database access when moving OC to SQLite became limiting once one agent might run 50 parallel sessions used by a whole team.

    SQLite

    Their wordsThe biggest design mistake I made when we moved OC to sqlite: using sync db access. When it was just an agent that reports to you on Slack or iMessage this was fine; now that one agent might do 50 sessions in parallel and the whole team works on it, it is limiting.

  3. Our readingLoops, graphs and workflows are the same thing engineers have always built — a trigger, an action, maybe a decision — and there is nothing magical about any of them.

    Their wordsSo if you design call it loop, call it graph, call it workflow, it's kind of all the same. If you design something that gets a trigger or gets an input and does something for you and maybe there's a decision in the way, boom, there's your graph.
