Writing
From the woods.
Tuesdays and Thursdays, on building software as a very small team, and on My Fordyce, the tool we build for it. One argument per post, real numbers, no listicles.
Running a sprint when your team is part agents
When part of your team is AI coding agents, sprint planning and standup quietly stop describing reality. What actually breaks in each ceremony, and the one choice that decides whether it works.
You are already running a multi-agent system
Almost nobody decides to run several coding agents at once. They open a second session. What serialized development costs a team, and where the deciding has to live once independent sessions write to one repository.
Three agents are not three times faster
Running two or three AI coding agents on one codebase does not multiply your output, because nothing arbitrates between them. How atomic claims, lease expiry and versioned writes fix it, and what a first-party MCP server for project management does that a wrapper cannot.
