As co-founder/CEO of Mastra and author of the widely-read 'Principles of Building AI Agents' (and its follow-up 'Patterns for Building AI Agents'), Sam Bhagwat offers a pragmatic, TypeScript-first view on agent architecture. His recurring theme is that the agents-vs-workflows debate is a false choice and that the real value comes from combining the two, grounded in production lessons from running a fast-growing open-source framework.
