alt Hacker NewsIn my workflow, it's totally interactive: Give the LLM some instructions, wait very briefly, look at code diff #1, correct/fix it before approving it, look at code diff #2, correct/fix it before approving it, sometimes hitting ESC and stopping the show because the agent needs to be course corrected... It's an active fight. No way I'm going to just "pre-approve all" and walk away to get coffee. The LLMs are not ready for that yet.
I don't know how you'd manage a "swarm" of agents without pre-approving them all. When one has a diff, do you review it, and then another one comes in with an unrelated diff, and you context switch and approve that, then a third one comes in with a tool use it wants to do... That sounds absolutely exhausting.
It sounds like diff #2 depends on approval of diff #1? But with cursor it's a set of diffs that'll be retroactively approved or rejected one by one. So you can get coffee during the thinking and still have interactive checks. Swarm changes nothing about this, except affecting the thinking time.
