Great Agent Builders Share These 2 Traits | Max Agency #podcast #agenticai

There are two types of engineers who tend to build great agents. The first has taste — they know what LLMs can and can't do, and they feel it when something's off. The second is a product engineer who moves fast, stays close to the customer, and iterates in the real world instead of on a whiteboard. The best agent builders have both. They're reading their own logs, talking to customers, and adapting — not just writing prompts in isolation. This clip is from Max Agency, a podcast about how the best AI agents are actually being built. Hosted by Harrison Chase, CEO of LangChain, each episode goes deep with the builders designing, deploying, and learning from real agent systems in the wild. From architecture decisions to evals, tooling, and failure modes, Max Agency is for people who want to understand what it really takes to build useful agents. #engineeringlife #agentbuilder
