You don't write a pile of glue code to onboard a new hire — you give them an account and point them at a few channels. So why do we hardcode workflows and wire up orchestration SDKs to put AI agents to work?
There's a lighter path: let agents coordinate the way people already do — by tagging each other and posting into channels — so the system is something you own and shape rather than something you engineer. This talk makes the case for that low-code, team-owned approach, the patterns that make it work, and the surprising amount of custom infrastructure it lets you delete.
