Your locks were sized for people.
At GitHub Universe this year, GitHub explained why it is rebuilding Git storage: agents now start more than 40% of pull requests, and a lock on a whole repository was never meant for thousands of writers. The systems we build for clients have the same lock, just smaller and better hidden.

Placement is the whole product.
Rocket Lab put Synspective's twelfth radar satellite into an exact 572km orbit on 18 September, its 96th Electron flight and its seventeenth of 2026. A shared ride would have been cheaper and would have broken the thing the constellation sells.

Most of the push is borrowed.
On 30 September, ESA's Juice spacecraft swings past Earth to steal a little of the planet's momentum on its way to Jupiter. It carries over three tonnes of propellant and still cannot get there on its own. That trade, less fuel in exchange for a hard appointment, is one we make in software every week.

Orbit is a shared bus now.
On 7 July a single Falcon 9 carried 81 satellites to orbit on a reused booster flying for the eleventh time. Getting to space used to be a bespoke, once-in-a-programme event. It is now scheduled shared transit, and the shift is a lesson about reuse that applies well beyond rockets.

What an agent is allowed to touch
Microsoft has put an agent sandbox into Windows itself. The interesting part is not the feature, it is that the question it answers, what is this thing allowed to touch, is the question we have been answering by hand on every AI system we ship.
