In my experience, each single item on this list already is a major hurdle for AI agents. The unholy union of all of them together is something I couldn't personally be responsible for - period.
Working on that codebase - I'm sure - is already difficult and often frustrating. Having a horde of short-term-memory-only agents without any real institutional knowledge is a recipe for disaster. I'm sure the rollout looks great on paper, and long-term effects are - conveniently - not the scope of this article.
you mandate and "solve" this in a few weeks over 1:N channels and measure on a metric that nobody even fully understands yet = someone getting paid to bullshit some metrics on agentic productivity to executives. i agree with other posters, 12 months until a dumpster fire of shit reveals itself.
