Behold, the mythical beast known as the Project Manager who genuinely believes that doubling the team size will halve the development time! Because obviously, building a C compiler is exactly like digging a ditch, right? Just throw more bodies at it and watch the magic happen!
Spoiler alert: that's not how software development works. There's this little thing called Brooks' Law that states "adding more people to a late software project makes it later." Why? Because now those 32 agents need to coordinate, communicate, have meetings about meetings, onboard the new folks, and spend half their time explaining what the first 16 already built. But sure, let's pretend humans are perfectly parallelizable processes with zero overhead!
