Solo engineer drives a team of 8 SME agents, claims a year of work every 2 weeks

Against the binary of solo vibe coding vs. AI labs Ralph Wigguming giant codebases, the author describes a third way: a single person doing actual software engineering with a continuously refined workflow—driving an operating team of 8 designated SME agents coding in their lane on git worktrees, with check-ins gated by another agent that enforces code against documented specifications and raises doubts to him as The Architect, plus a security SME agent on Mythos 5.1 vetting everything. It took 2 months to get working; he now claims to do about a year's worth of work every 2 weeks. "Not vibe, not slop."
