What if the future of software development isn't one AI agent, but hundreds? 🤖 In this talk @joelhooks.com explores agent swarms, harness engineering, AI-powered workflows, and why the real challenge isn't building smarter agents, it's designing systems that make the best use of human attention.

i don't know how far i'll get. "full federation" is a huge lift! but i think the idea is fascinating so it might be worth it.
