From the people around me doing this - they aren't keeping up, they aren't looking at the finished project/product, then throwing it over the wall for others to triage. Rinse and repeat. Definitely fits some people's personalities, but not mine.

no way anyone has 12 "projects" that are even worth working on. No one at any company is working on 12 things at the same time.

I guarantee they're just starting a bunch of half baked random projects, abandoning them half way through and starting 12 new ones.

It's less 12 projects and more 1 project + 11 changes/experiments. Complex projects still get the most attention, but I do a lot more work which may end up being discarded, and agents pick up any tasks which would've otherwise landed in the backlog. Update dependencies here, rebase this branch, start working on this issue, change this and benchmark it, etc.

I mean... I do. And yes they're all worth working on.

		I think the point was why working on simultaneously, aside from inability to prioritize.

They're probably calling things projects that most of us would call tasks or minor features.
