Construyendo un compilador de C con Claudes en paralelo
Título original: Building a C compiler with parallel Claudes
A team of 16 Claude agents in parallel was given the task of writing from scratch a C compiler implemented in Rust, capable of compiling the Linux kernel. Over almost 2,000 Claude Code sessions and $20,000 in API costs, the agents produced a 100,000-line compiler that can build Linux 6.9 on x86, ARM, and RISC-V. The project also left lessons on designing harnesses for long-running autonomous agent teams, such as writing tests that keep the agents on track without human supervision and structuring the work so that the agents can progress in parallel.
