Ask HN: How many of you juggle multiple agent sessions at the same time? I hear a lot about the future of software engineering work being an engineer sitting with tons of sessions open and multitasking on many jira tickets all at once. I am relatively junior but I feel like I see more people working on one ticket at a time, with maybe 2 sessions open. Curious how many people are juggling 6+ agents and do many jira tickets and orchestrating all these sessions. |
I usually limit # of concurrent tmux windows 15 (per Kanban limit of Work In Progress concept) but I've been known to up that to 30 when on-call.
Once you have 4–5 active agent sessions, the bottleneck becomes remembering who is doing what and jumping between them.
ai-devkit gives each agent a name, lets you see and navigate active sessions from one place, agents can communicate with each other, search sessions that you already completed. I also added remote control so I can check or redirect sessions without constantly switching terminals.
If you have time or chance to try it out, I would love to know what you think.
