>I do not understand the appeal of the workflow of working on separate things in parallel, then splitting it off into branches/commits. imo, isn't it better to fully focus on one thing at a time, even if it is "simple"?

because agents are slow.

I use SOTA model (latest opus/chatgpt) to first flesh out all the work. since a lot of agent harness use some black magic, i use this workflow

1. Collect all issues 2. Make a folder 3. Write each issue as a file with complete implementation plan to rectify the issue

After this, i change from SOTA to Mini model

Loop through each issue or run agents in parallel to implement 1 issue at a time.

I usually need to do 3 iteration runs to implement full functionality.
