In my experience limiting myself to two projects in parallel is most productive, with a clear primary project whose agent’s completion take precedence over the other’s. It lets me still have concurrent work going on, but I’m very clearly still taking care to be precise and targeted with my prompting. Too many things going on, and I’m no longer optimizing for doing the task but for having as much parallel execution and progress as possible, and that’s a trap of perceived productivity.

I mean it is right there at the beginning:

Where do you see me drunk on power here?

My point is that it isn’t faster because producing the code isn’t the bottleneck.
