> I'm not [yet?] running multiple agents, and currently don't really want to

This is the main reason to use AI agents, though: multitasking. If I'm working on some Terraform changes and I fire off an agent loop, I know it's going to take a while for it to produce something working. In the meantime I'm waiting for it to come back and pretend it's finished (really I'll have to fix it), so I start another agent on something else. I flip back and forth between the finished runs as they notify me. At the end of the day I have 5 things finished rather than two.

The "agent" doesn't have to be anything special either. Anything you can run in a VM or container (vscode w/copilot chat, any cli tool, etc) so you can enable YOLO mode.
