>So I’m wondering, how do you context switch between many agent running and proposing diffs. Especially if you need to vet the changes.

I’m wondering this too. But from what I have seen, I think most people doing this are not really reading and vetting the output. Just faster, parallelized, vibe coding.

Not saying that’s what parent is doing, but it’s common.

Yeah. I would like multiple agents because each can be primed with a different system prompt and “clean” context. This has been proven to work, eg with Aider’s “architect” vs “editor” models / agents working together.

For parallel work who want stuff to “happen faster”, I am convinced most of these people don’t really read (nor probably understand) the code it produces.

It's basically like having N of the most prolific LoC producing colleagues who don't have a great mental model of how the language works that you have to carefully parse all of their PRs.

Honestly, I've seen too many fairly glaring mistakes in all models I've tried that signal that they can't even get the easy stuff right consistently. In the language I use most (C++), if they can't do that, how can I trust them to get all the very subtle things right? (e.g. very often they produce code that holds some form of dangling references, and when I say "hey don't do that", they go back to something very inefficient like copying things all over the place).

I am very grateful they can churn out a comprehensive test suite in gtest though and write other scripts to test / do a release and such. The relief in tedium there is welcome for sure!
