Building an AI software development team with Claude Code agents Claude Code’s multi-agent architecture represents a fundamental shift from AI-assisted coding to AI-driven development, where specialized subagents work in parallel like a virtual engineering team. Since its February 2025 launch and September 2025 2.0 release, Claude Code has evolved from a terminal tool into a sophisticated orchestration platform that now generates over $500M in annualized revenue. For developers looking to build artificial software teams, understanding Claude Code’s agent/subagent system—and how it differs from competitors like GitHub Copilot and Cursor—is essential to leveraging this paradigm effectively. ...

Imagine for a second that 70% of all car accidents were caused by the exact same mechanical failure—say, a specific bolt that just happened to shake loose on every highway in the world. We wouldn’t just tell drivers to be more careful; we would demand a new kind of bolt. In the world of software, we’ve been living with that loose bolt for forty years, and its name is memory corruption. ...
