I would love to unleash parallel agents, but I am still checking every single edit while enforcing minimal, stateless, modular code, and I have the AI check in with me before writing the next file.

A lot of times, I find it has incredibly stupid ideas and tends to make the code very messy. I would love to figure out how to stop that from happening automatically.

The upside of checking in on the code, though, is that I can come up with smart directions for the AI from both a product and tech perspective. This is especially helpful when the dumb suggestions add a lot of complexity.

I think it's like when a product person asks for a new feature, or when a founder building their own product selects which feature is smarter to build and how.

I'm expecting we'll likely end back up on agents making PRs, and having to review them. Either that or giving up on quality etc/dealing with very messy code. I've been trying various automated testing/linting/etc strategies, and they only work so well.
