Hi, I'm the original author and I can clarify a few things.

The 543 hours are the agent compute hours, not me at the keyboard. The pipeline runs autonomously, the agents execute in parallel, and the gates verify the output. Most of the prompts are agent-to-agent, not human-to-agent.

On the timeline: I have a BSCS (1995) and MSCS (1997) with a specialty in distributed systems. I actually worked my way through school doing this work so I didn't need loans. Let's call it almost 35 years.

The terminology has evolved but the architecture hasn't changed as much as people think.

I can’t even begin to parse any of this if that’s the case.

I was hooking up TI-83s to each other when I was 12, so I guess I’ll tell people I’ve been building distributed systems for 30 years.

I’m going to bet that you didn’t have “building event driven distributed systems for 15 years” on your resume in 2006.
