>At some point you have to let go and trust people‘s judgement.

Indeed. People. With salaries, general intelligence, a stake in the matter and a negative outcome if they don’t take responsibility.

>Reading and understanding the whole output of 9 concurrently running agents is impossible.

I agree. It is also impossible for a person to drive two cars at once… so we don’t. Why is the starting point of the conversation that one should be able to use 9 concurring agents?

I get it, writing code no longer has a physical bottleneck. So the bottleneck becomes the next thing, which is our ability to review outputs. It’s already a giant advancement, why are we ignoring that second bottleneck and dropping quality assurance as well? Eventually someone has to put their signature on the thing being shippable.

Is reviewing outputs really more efficient than writing the code? Especially if it's a code base you haven't written code in?
