Multiple agents in parallel "working on different features" is where people lose me. I don't care how much friction you've eliminated from the loop, eventually that code has to be looked at. Trying to switch between 5 different feature branches and properly review the code, even with AI help, if done properly is going to eat up most of not all the productivity improvements. The only way around it is to start pencils whipping reviews.

Yes. Your brain, your clear thinking and your focus are the ultimate scarce resource. Writing code is easy, but I review one large PR from a coworker, and I need a nap.

Claiming that you have "ten agents writing code at night" is not the flex you think it is. That's just a recipe for burnout and bad design decisions.

Stop running your agents and go touch grass.

feels like nowadays this is illegal and instead you should be running 50 agent swarms and be putting out 20 features an hour while reviewing the code via agents and .....

ugh.
