Running 10 AI Agents at Once: Founders Report the 'Fried Brain Effect'
petrusenko_max · x · 2026-10-16
Relaying tibomaker's "fried brain effect": AI was supposed to mean less work, yet he runs up to 10 agents simultaneously—one fixing bugs, one writing pages, one refactoring something he forgot he asked for—with 100x more context switching than five years ago. Founders everywhere report the same: shipping 10x more somehow means pressure to ship 10x more every day. No solution offered yet.
