I've yet to meet a real engineer who says they've mastered running more than one agent at a time (not on real work, only playing with e.g. GasTown) I'm in multiple forums with very experienced people leaning hard into this stuff. It's only on X and LinkedIn you see people say they're doing it.

i got interesting feedback about this the other day; curious how patterns change after models that output really fast become normal
