Developer MaxBlade describes "Hivecoding": running 25 Claude Opus agents wired to his livestream chat to build a 50-player battle royale game, Kong Royale.
- Most people in his chat are real developers suggesting fixes and improvements; agents run overnight, filtering the best ideas from chat messages and the stream transcript
- Last night the agents shipped 90 new changes to the game, and also update his production setup, stream config, and Discord
- His takeaway: the human is now the bottleneck — unless you have 100+ agentic engineers working for you
The thread went viral with udiWertheimer and others calling it the most impressive use of AI coding agents they've seen.
