The agents are talking to each other… sometimes. When they feel like it. When Mercury is in retrograde. And then Microsoft drops Azure AI Foundry and promises it’ll solve all my multi-agent orchestration problems. The Problem With Building AI Agents (Or: Why I Started Drinking More Coffee) Let me paint you a picture. You want to build an AI system that actually does something useful.
