> I bring it up not to be pedantic

The OP is fundamentally expressing the opinion that single task threads are easier to keep track of.

Agree / disagree? Sure.

…but dipping into pedantry about terms (swarm, subagent, vine coding, agentic engineering) really doesn't add anything to the conversation does it?

You said:

> I think you misunderstand "swarms of agents", based on what you say above.

…but from reading the entire post I am pretty skeptical anyone was confused as to what they meant.

Wrong term? Don't care. If someone calls it a hallucination? Also don't care.

That cursor is focusing on “do stuff in parallel guys!”? Yeah, I care about that.

> it is probably best not to use that word if you are referring to multiple agents working on multiple tasks, right?

Not relevant to the thread. Also, I work with people who casually swap between using these exact words to mean both things.

I donnnt caarrrrre what people call it.

…when the meaning is obvious from the context, it doesnt matter.
