petergyang shares observations on multi-bot workflows:
- The original post notes the author runs 8-9 bots, while some SpaceX employees run 50+ bots, using a few manager bots to orchestrate the rest
- petergyang argues most people can't manage more than 4-5 concurrent threads without getting overwhelmed
- He questions whether 50+ bots is essentially the same as 50+ chat threads in ChatGPT/Claude Code, unsure what the difference would be
The exchange highlights how multi-agent orchestration (hierarchical manager bots) blurs the line with simply juggling many chat threads.
