Agents Are Good to Brute Force a Solution

Something well known, but always good to reinforce: agents are good to brute force a solution to a problem.

I just remembered to write about this while debugging a production incident, where my agent was able to parse logs and find the piece of code that was generating the problem with ready only access to aws and a codebase.

Next time you have a complex problem with a clear way to measure success, grab an agent and let it brute force your way into a working solution. Specially useful when you don’t care about long term maintainability.
