Every time I read in some blog about an unproven technique which is profitable for token sellers I'm reminded of those overpriced restaurants that became "instagram popular" because the cool kids got paid a bundle of money to promote them.

In real life the only time I saw somebody try this "multiagentic coding" the results were...underwhelming.

In real life only a minority of teams achieved good results according to Circle CI report.

And there is one notable anecdotal source proving that it is possible - https://ideas.fin.ai/p/2x-nine-months-later

(Op here)

I genuinely think that multi-agent is a probable future to enable coding at the scale of a big corporation.

I agree and I did not see it work yet, but the trial were most likely on small scale where it is simply over engineering.

(Btw : I do not sell tokens. I I think distributed the work through agents in a plateform is a way to control costs by optimizing specialised agents)
