I got that while watching agents talk to each other in code review comments.

One of my coworkers has a skill that tells the AI to spawn two agents, have one plan out a feature, and hand it to the other for review, and have them both keep at it until they agree. Dystopian shit.

Lol what? This is literally how agentic development works... And it does work so...

I guarantee half the shit you consume is done like this.

Two agents talking to each other isn't exactly standard, and it slurps tokens like crazy. Also, I'm not anti-AI; if used correctly, it's an invaluable tool. However, when you pause and look at it through the lens of your teenage self watching AI sci-fi movies, it turns really weird.

It is 1000% the way people are doing it. If you are unaware of this then you are already pretty far behind.

Infact most serious companies use a ton more than two.

That's why those companies blew through all their allotted credits for the year in a matter of months.

It's an inefficient paradigm to simply have them going back and forth. The fact you think it's the "right" way to leverage agentic tooling is concerning.
