Why Adding More AI Agents Makes Your Team Slower

Despite expectations that adding more AI agents to an engineering team would multiply productivity, experience shows that beyond a certain point, more agents can actually reduce output. The author, with extensive programming experience, found using four AI agents increased code production significantly, but doubling agents led to less code produced. This phenomenon is explained by Gunther's Universal Scalability Law, which addresses how adding resources can lead to diminishing returns or slow a
