Parallelism over one code base is clearly not very useful.

I don't understand why going as fast as possible is the goal. We should be trying to be as correct as possible. The whole point is that these agents can run while we sleep. Convergence is non linear. You want every step to be in the right direction. Think of it more as a series of crystalline database transactions that must unroll in perfect order than a big pile of rocks that needs to be moved from a to b.

I think we can now begin to experimentally test Conway's law and corollaries.

Agreed, a flat set of workers configured like this is probably not the best configuration.

Can you imagine what an all human team configured like this would produce?
