An AI engineer reflects on a year of deploying coding agents, concluding that the primary bottleneck for real-world impact was not model capability but rather organizational design and safety measures. Key challenges included self-serve access, managing the 'blast radius' of agent actions, and establishing clear data-retention policies with vendors. The engineer argues that while model improvements are necessary, they are insufficient on their own, and the real constraints shift to surrounding infrastructure and policy as models become more capable.
