Software construction needs to become like Mission Control - everyone can see everyone else's screen. Maybe that's a monitor bank for passive monitoring, and letting anyone hop into any tmux and steer any agent - and an agent pool works on tasks from the backlog, rather than engineers being assigned tasks and using agents to do them. It needs to be more like an orchestra, where things are being directed in real time - designating a conductor who steers things. Maybe it's like a ship's crew, with roles, a chain of command, and lots of overlap. So each day someone gets to be Captain.
It was all good when change was slow and needed deep contemplation. Things sped up this year. Chaos is harder to defeat now. It really does need a different paradigm than "people facing into corners each doing today's task".
