Three Criteria for Choosing Skills Over Sub-Agents in AI Design
Choosing the right building block for AI systems often comes down to fit, not flash. In a recent Azure Architecture blog post, lead engineer Kishorekumar Pattabiraman lays out practical criteria for deciding between skills and sub-agents, with reusability and long-term maintainability leading the way. It's a grounded take that cuts through the noise, favoring simplicity over cleverness. For those weighing similar trade-offs, this is the kind of clarity that helps teams move forward.
Simplicity isn't a retreat: it's a smarter way to build technology.
For over a decade, Kaiwei Tang and Joe Hollier have championed a quieter kind of technology. Their Light Phone, now in a new flip design, strips away the noise that defines modern smartphones. They are not anti-tech, but pro-attention, a stance that has attracted collaborators like Andrew Yang and Kendrick Lamar. As "attention activists" gain momentum, their vision feels less like a niche and more like a necessary counterweight.
