If you only have one AI window open, you’re doing it wrong. You task swap to another window/agent, get it working on something, rinse and repeat. I can keep 4 busy most of the time. When I task swap I also check in on what the other agents are doing to make sure they’re on track, not blocked and not struggling.

congratulations on your soon to be coming burnout.

Keeping that many tasks in parallel, running all the time will kill you.

I suppose it depends how hands-off the tasks are - I max out at 2 parallel sessions working on different parts and it's fairly exhausting once done. I can see the number of parallel work increasing if there's a good dev/test loop. But at $WORK, that's not usually an option.

		So, hands-off meaning "just let the AI cook and don't check it"? Either you follow everything it does, revise the plans, do the code review, manual adjustments, etc, or you run sessions in parallel, not being that attentive and constantly context-switch (also resulting in less attention I guess). I fail to see the benefits honestly.

It's great to work from home so you can take nice little micro naps while code's generating, reviewing, building, and deploying.

A calm attentive alternative of vibe coding: restful coding.

It's much easier to read and review code after a refreshing cat nap, especially with a real cat.

Too bad that's not usually acceptable to do that in the office. It should be! Slacking off by sword fighting all day is too exhausting.
