      <title>The Agent Resilience Paradox: Why &apos;Working&apos; Software Fails AI Agents</title>
      <link>https://glintbase.dev/blog/agent-resilience-paradox</link>
      <guid>https://glintbase.dev/blog/agent-resilience-paradox</guid>
      <description>A new benchmark category is emerging: agent resilience. Discover why software that works perfectly for humans regularly fails AI coding agents — and how the Agent Readiness Score captures what traditional QA misses.</description>
