The 2X Ceiling: Why 100 AI Agents Can't Outcode Amdahl's Law"

Opublikowano: 2025-09-17

AI coding agents face the same fundamental limitation as parallel computing: Amdahl's Law. Just as 10 cooks can't make soup 10x faster, 10 AI agents can't code 10x faster due to inherent sequential bottlenecks. 📚 Key Concepts The Soup Analogy Multiple cooks can divide tasks (prep, boiling water, etc.)But certain steps MUST be sequential (can't stir before ingredients are in)Adding more cooks hits diminishing returns quicklyPerfect metaphor for parallel processing limitsAmdahl's Law Explained Mathematical principle: Speedup = 1 / (Sequential% + Parallel%/N)Logarithmic relationship = rapid plateauSequential work becomes the hard ceilingEven infinite workers can't overcome seq...
