    Real-world data breaks AI agents in productionโ—Building autonomous AI agents is incredibly rewarding until you deploy them to production and real-world data breaks youMmastodonTechnologySoftware44 h ago

    Developers building autonomous AI agents say the work is rewarding until deployment, when messy real-world data disrupts carefully designed pipelines. A common bottleneck is the tool execution layer: when an agent calls a vector database or a live web API, it assumes a reliable, well-formed response that production systems rarely deliver. Engineers are discussing how to make agent tool calls robust to unreliable external data.

Readers are debating whether measurement-driven design has hollowed out the web's creative promise.

    Building Safer API Clients: Timeouts, Retries and Backoffโ—Build safer API clients with timeouts, retry limits, exponential backoff, jitter, Retry-After, and idempotency. # prograMmastodonTechnologySoftware39 h ago

    Developers are being reminded that robust API clients need more than a simple retry loop. A widely shared guide outlines six core practices: setting timeouts, capping retry attempts, using exponential backoff, adding jitter to avoid thundering herds, honoring server Retry-After headers, and designing requests to be idempotent. The advice targets backend and web developers whose naive retry logic can accidentally amplify outages instead of recovering from them.
