Human bandwidth and context switching definitely seems to be a major bottleneck at the moment, but if scheduling several tasks concurrently to batch questions I imagine there is an upper limit on how many tasks can be run in parallel, especially if there are dependencies between them. I think we need to start charging employers per token of human attention if you optimise the mental throughput. I'm going to miss doomscrolling while claude writes the plan though :(

"upper limit on how many tasks can be run in parallel" - definitely, however at the moment codinig workflows like Claude Code will spawn around 5 agents in parallel at max, but we can hope that dynamic workflows provides a better solution however the intial reports on the coherency of the their multi-agent system seems to be sub-optimal
