What limits scaling in complex systems?
Scaling is constrained by fundamental laws.
You can add 100 agents and still not ship faster
— just like adding 100 programmers doesn’t eliminate integration work
Faster agents don’t help if validation is slow
— just like faster developers don’t help if QA is the bottleneck
Scaling is not about capacity — it is about flow
“The bottleneck defines the system.”
If constraints define scaling, then systems must be designed around them.
