Running coding agents in parallel: give each one exclusive file ownership
ValenciaTangerine · reddit · 2026-11-10
A Reddit dev shares a practical recipe for parallel coding agents: split the job so each agent owns specific files with a strict do-not-touch list, so nothing needs merging. Agents only make their own part compile; you run the build/tests once at the end, saving big token waste. On failure, hand the exact error to a small fix agent instead of restarting. Also pin model and effort per agent — defaults can silently put you on the most expensive model at max effort.
