The complexity was real, and honestly that’s a good callout

I just came here to post that I couldn't read past 'The complexity was real, but distributed'. I can get past these LLM constructions when Claude uses them in chat. They seriously undermine the credibility of comment pieces or guides like this one when I encounter them. I absolutely hate it when I get them in a lengthy response to a simple question to a colleague about why we're going to do something a particular way.

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

It's sort of a form of corrective antithesis (or "negation-antithesis") I think. A bit like "it's not x, it's why". Really grinds my gears.

(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)

The 'reading effort : meaning' ratio of this post is a bit painful.

There are about 3 named concepts in every paragraph.

There are about 15 claims about named concept being the solution to a problem that's never explained.

At some point, if you try to make 20 different points, you make no point at all.
