The 'second age' of coding agents: 3-5 parallel agents, reviewing only the PR
aryamankhawow · x · 2026-11-11
aryamankhawow describes the "second age" of coding agents, centered on parallelism: users got comfortable with longer agent turns (10-30 minutes between responses), managing 3-5 concurrent agents via local worktrees or the cloud, and reviewing only the final output—the PR. It bridges the first age's short-turn, line-by-line review model.
