56 Minutes of Reading Before Writing: How 15 Agent Sessions Split a Rust Port
martinwoodward · x · 2026-09-17
In the same migration, the hardest session.ts port began with 56 minutes of pure reading before creating anything; the parent session then spawned 15 child sessions in separate worktrees. Less 'AI spraying code', more understanding the system and finding sensible boundaries. Another note: Rust's compiler was a useful teammate — static analysis helps enormously, but it can't tell you a feature is missing.
