The Mythical Man-Month in the Age of AI

A new essay revisits Fred Brooks' classic 1975 software engineering book 'The Mythical Man-Month' and asks whether its famous lessons about adding manpower to late projects still hold when coding work is increasingly done with AI assistance. The piece is drawing attention among developers debating whether AI tools change or merely amplify the coordination problems Brooks described.
