Lars Jansen(@oldstackjournal):Brooks's law says adding people to a late software project makes it later. That was 1975. Now we've got people running 50 AI coding agents overnight. The agents don't need meetings, but somebody still has to review all that code. I wonder how much of the old rule still applies.
