Developer Says Single Agent Handles Code, Analytics, Scheduling; Many Agents Are Just Playing House
zeeg · x · 2026-08-14
Developer @zeeg says he currently uses a single agent (no subagents) to make code changes, query company analytics and knowledge, and manage scheduled work, and it works fine. He thinks people running a dozen differently named agents want to play house more than get things done. He's not sure a single agent can handle all concerns, but it's certainly more effective than what many are doing.
