alt Hacker Newsok "series of context windows spread across many agents".. sure much clearer.
Doesn't change my point: the amount of code the agent can operate on is very large, if not unlimited, as long as you put even a little bit of thought into structuring things so it can be divided along a boundary.
If you let the codebase degrade into spaghetti, then the LLM is going to have the same problem any engineer would have with that. The rules for good code didn't disappear.

Context windows don't necessarily cleanly divide. Getting each agent to be able to task within a context window is a hard problem.
It's like like if your context window with one agent is n, your context window with 10 agents is n/10. It is some skill, but that is also where a lot of the advances are coming in.
