I can do two or three at a time. I treat them a bit like queues: Last in first out, sort of like we do with our human peers.

We delegate work, we tend to some other work, and we code review much later in the day.

The secret to this mindset is that it doesn't always have to line up. Let your agent wait for you; You'll get to their output next.

I don’t know about you but I’m not constantly round robin delegating work to peers and reviewing it on a 10-20 minute cadence. No one works like that. I don’t know if anyone is even capable of working like that day in and day out long term for any meaningful definition of review.

Who said a 10-20 minute cadence? :)

Sometimes yes, but often no. It takes time to write what you need into claude code and to review what it makes.

I do whatever work I need to do, however long it takes, send to claude, and immediately pop off the next queue item.

If it’s less than a 24 hours cadence it’s nothing like delegating work to colleagues.

Micromanaging 3 junior engineers working on different tasks to the point where you are reviewing each one’s work multiple times per day and assigning new tasks multiple times per day sounds like a quick ticket to burnout.
