Claude code agents bottlenecked by human review despite parallel processing

The author experimented with running four Claude code agents simultaneously to complete a coding task. Despite the parallel processing, the author found that their own review and merging of the agents' outputs became the primary bottleneck. The process took 25 minutes to complete, highlighting the need for efficient human oversight even with advanced AI tools. AI

IMPACT Highlights the need for efficient human-AI collaboration in coding tasks, even with parallel agent execution.
