Work on a project where you can verify the functionality instead of reviewing the code in any detail.

Use worktrees to parallelize development on multiple tasks.

That's all there is to it.

In many cases, this means a new solo project rather than a project at work with a team.

In my iOS app with around 100k LOC, Claude Code typically uses 150k context for small tasks.

For tasks that take longer and run the tests to instrument and investigate outcomes, the context grows to 250k-600k. With a few of those in parallel, busy days can consume a lot of tokens.
