And none of them should see each other's data. So you start building. S3 for storage. A database per user. Docker containers. Isolation logic. Scaling. Pause/resume when users go idle. Suddenly it's three months later and you haven't written any agent logic. I hit this exact wall building my AI coding agent (100k users). Built the infra. Took months.
