Kent Beck, as deep into GenAI coding as anyone, on watching a multi-agent system work: "I was managing it. Watching which agent was doing what. Holding state in my head that the system should have been holding for me." Nobody wants agents, they want outcomes.

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.

LinkedIN is incredible nonsense, hurts my eyes every time I open that page. I'm wondering whether those people ever built anything at all
