I really am quite in awe of Claude Code recently, so definitely not a naysayer, but this is a really important point. It’s so easy to create code, but am I shipping that much to prod than I used to? A bit.
Obviously this highly depends on your company and your setup and risk tolerance and what not.
I mean, Brooks' Mythical Man-Month says this explicitly: adding more programmers makes projects later because of coordination costs, which we haven't figured out (coordination isn't parallelization between agents, it's "oh we discovered this problem; we need to go back to design" and so on).
