How an agent actually runs — a Runner drives an invocation and hands you back a stream of events, not a single answer.
How ADK runs an agent: the Runner drives an invocation that yields a stream of Event objects — content, tool calls, state deltas, control signals. The event loop explains streaming, callbacks, and state.
How a RequestPort pauses a workflow, emits a request to a human, and feeds their answer back into the graph.
A RequestPort emits a RequestInfoEvent and suspends the workflow; the driver answers with SendResponse. A guess-the-number cycle shows the pause/resume mechanism.
The minimal loop in Go: a Foundry provider, an Agent with instructions, run collected and streamed — and what RunText hands back.
The minimal Microsoft Agent Framework loop in Go: a foundryprovider agent, DefaultAzureCredential, and one RunText you either Collect or range over as a Go 1.23 iterator.
There's a role that sits exactly on the seam between engineering and the market — translating what was built into what customers understand and want — and it's the one technical companies most often do badly or not at all. Product marketing is that bridge. When it's missing, you get the classic technical-company failure: a genuinely great product described in terms only its builders understand, launched into silence, losing to a worse product that explained itself better. Product marketing is how good engineering becomes a product the market actually gets.

How Go builds aggregate types from value semantics up — why a struct is a copy, when it stops being comparable, what embedding actually promotes (and what it deliberately doesn't), and how a backtick string in a field definition ends up steering `encoding/json`.

How a captured card transaction turns into money in a merchant's bank account — batching, gross-to-net fees, reserves, adjustments, and the T+N funding file.
From captured transactions to merchant bank account: batching, interchange/scheme-fee deduction, reserves/holdbacks, and T+N funding files.
Route a payment across multiple providers to maximize auth rate, with health-aware routing, failover, and normalized webhooks.

before/after the agent, model, and tool steps — and the single short-circuit rule that turns them into guardrails
Callbacks are lifecycle hooks around the agent, model, and tool steps — before/after each — used for guardrails (short-circuit by returning a response), logging, and mutating requests and responses.
How an edge assigner delivers one message to a chosen subset of targets — a multi-way switch that may fall through to more than one case.
WithEdgeAssigner yields target indexes via an iter.Seq[int], so a single message reaches several branches at once — a long email goes to both assistant and summary, offline.
Why I learned the whole framework in Go by writing one runnable lesson per concept, against Azure AI Foundry, instead of reading the docs top to bottom.
