alt Hacker NewsI find TUI scales better for multiple concurrent agents across the same and different codebases, especially using tools such as herdr. I can fire off an agent, which runs sub-agents. Then check-in periodically to re-steer as needed or be interrupt driven for completions of tasks. I can't see how vscode/GUI is better for this?

The new herdr app is much nicer than I expected
Same... I use herdr to manage 12+ sessions easily. There's no GUI that can do that.
What do people mean that VS code can not support 12 sessions? I never do that, but 3-4 in parallel is fine, and I don't see why it would not support many more.
I do use multiple windows though, I never liked mutiple workspaces in the same window, it also makes contexts blow up I find.
have you used the GUIs recently? because this is literally what they are best for.
For me the tight integration with Claude Artifacts (and whatever OpenAIs copy of those is) is super value-able for me. The biggest bottleneck for me is gathering all my thoughts and analyzing what needs to be done.
I was a long term user of the TUI and tools like cmux / herdr but now I find it much easier to actually focus
