    while I have more time to do what?

For work, I regularly have 2-4 agents going simultaneously, churning on 1-3 features, bug fixes, doc updates.

I pop between them in the "down time", or am reviewing their output, or am preparing the requirements for the next thing, or am reviewing my coworkers MRs.

Plenty to do that isn't doom scrolling.

Out of curiousity, how do you manage the constant context switching? It's hard for me to manage the context of one coding session, let along 2-4 sessions.

I usually don't find it too bad. I don't need to focus as much on the nitty gritty the whole time, which is where context switching really gets you.

Once you get to the review stage is where the focus is really needed and the context switching pauses.

That being said, it's definitely a different workflow from just getting in the zone and coding for four straight hours.
