Edward (@edward40e) reports on 2026-07-29 that while creating a basic Raft-like multi-agent system is easy, the real challenge lies in choosing precise contexts for individual agents. He emphasizes that those context decisions strongly affect both token consumption and the quality of the agents' outputs.

bro tried to build a Raft copy, now he understands the hard part

I think I underestimated Raft. Spinning up a basic agent swarm is trivial—it's quick and easy to build a copycat. But picking the exact right context for each agent? That’s non-trivial, and it massively impacts both token costs and output quality.
