I think one thing posts like this miss out is teams are made up of humans It may be a fun thought exercise to compare teams to parallel computing but one key thing is team members are not necessarily interchangeable or have the same expertise. They also don't produce at the same rate everyday. I would be very skeptical of applying these principles to teams in real life.

And yet, we know that work stealing functions both in parallel computing and Kanban or other LWIP systems.

Does this post claim that they're interchangeable or actually machines? It's talking about the impact of coordination overhead, through a computing lens. This is a well-studied area already if you want to drop the computing lens and go to operations research.
