Cole Medin: Parallel AI Agents Made Me Faster but Destroyed My Focus — Here's My Fix
Cole Medin · youtube · 2026-10-22
Developer Cole Medin reflects on how running multiple parallel agent sessions and dictating prompts all day destroyed his ability to do four-hour deep-focus coding. He argues the fix isn't more sessions but more autonomy: building a more autonomous harness (e.g. /goal, his open-source AI Software Factory) so agents can run for days. He sees today's 'juggling sessions' workflow as an in-between phase that will end.
