# Speed without infrastructure

## Quote
> "Speed without infrastructure is running your Ferrari into a ditch."

— [[entity-nate-b-jones|Nate B. Jones]]

## Context
A metaphor illustrating the danger of deploying fast, autonomous agents without the necessary evaluation and safety guardrails.

## Anchors
- Prerequisite: [[prereq-evaluation-infrastructure]]
- Framework: [[framework-safety-pillars]]

## Practical Reading
The iteration speed that makes auto-agents valuable also makes them dangerous. Infrastructure (evals, version control, sandboxing, oversight) is what converts speed into safe value.
