Junior engineer chasing agentic AI roles asks what's missing from their skill set
A junior engineer aiming at agentic AI roles asks for feedback on their skill gaps. The advice that matters most is not framework knowledge but three practical abilities: designing a task whose success is verifiable, debugging a tool call that returns garbage, and stopping an agent from taking expensive or irreversible actions. One small shipped project with a write-up of what broke is the strongest portfolio piece for this kind of role.
