alt Hacker NewsI use the OpenSpec[1] workflow with PRs at each step, proposal, apply, archive. I have the LLM do those steps but I review the results and have it make changes as needed.
OpenSpec specs make it easy to look back at what it was supposed to do if necessary, including a checklist of tasks.
I don't have a lot of parallel tasks running at once to reduce context switching. I prefer parallel tasks to be on different projects which I find makes it easier to track what is happening in each.
Just like manual work, break tasks down into small chunks that can be completed quickly. This also helps avoid the feeling you need to run a bunch in parallel and context switch. If you know something is going to be done in 5-15 min you can use that time to do non-product/code tasks.
