Ugh, sounds awful. Constantly context switching and juggling multiple tasks is a sure-fire way to burn me out.

The human element in all of this never seems to be discussed. Maybe this will weed out those that are unworthy of the new process but I simply don't want to be "on" all the time. I don't want to be optimized like this.

Often when you are solving a problem, you are never solving a single problem at a time. Even in a single task, there are 4-5 tasks hidden. you could easily put agent to do one task while you do another.

Ask it to implement a simple http put get with some authentication and interface and logs for example, while you work out the protocol.

Seems like you're your saying there is a such a thing as regenerative, light-weight multi-tasking?

no.

Sure, but the subtasks don't feel completely disparate, probably because there's shared context in working memory.
