When I hear someone say "agent swarm" or "orchestrator", all I can think of is "we finally built the Man-Month, from the famous book, The Mythical Man-Month"

@wren6991 When I hear someone mention Man-Moth, I always think of the famous one from the book. I heard they live around some brooks

@wren6991 my brain autocorrected that to Man-Moth from The Mythical Man-Moth and i would actually read that book

@wren6991 @shapr But remember, as Fred Brooks said, project managers need to bear in mind that while one woman can make a baby in nine months, nine women *can't* make a baby in one month!

So it may take a swarm of swarms of agents to make a mythical man-swarm, or something.

@cstross @wren6991 @shapr are project managers generally Asatro? They might be thinking of Heimdal guardian of Asgard and son of nine mothers (though the story does not relate how long the pregnancy took).

If one painter can paint a closet in an hour, 10 painters can paint a closet in 6 minutes.

@wren6991 If "agent swarm", then Man-Moth would be more fitting. From the famous folk tale, The Mythical Man-Moth.

@wren6991 The mythical man-moth? That's @gsuberland 's superhero identity

@wren6991 @gsuberland (he's summoned with a big LÅMP like Batman, except there's no stencil in front of the signal. It's just a bright light)

@wren6991 If you don't get into the torment nexus you'll be left behind.

@wren6991 do tell what this book is about. I am thoroughly intrigued (and mildly inebriated against my better judgement)

@wren6991 It reveals the real purpose they have in mind. Obviously a swarm of codemonkeys is useless, but a swarm of social media socks is very powerful.
