But it’s not a man-month anymore. It’s like half a day.

And if I break up an application then 9 coders with Claude Code can build that application in an unprecedentedly short period.

How do you do that? If I let just 2 agents work in parallel they keep stepping on each other, waiting for each other and the perf tests become super noisy (because they run them in parallel)

Yes, with the caveat that the application doesn't actually work.

P.S. If you wrote non-working applications even before the age of AI, then this is an upgrade, I guess.

There is a difference between building a product and building a product that sells. So, which one are we talking about here? In my opinion MMM talks about the latter
