Nice. Do you "manage" them in any fancy way other than simply having multiple terminal windows open?

  Nothing fancy, I use Ghostty and split view. You can split one window into as many panes as you like.

    Do you use git worktrees?
    - cloudking 1y ago
      I've tried them for some more complex projects, but I've found as long as I am working on isolated features/bugs, with good component breakdowns the agents won't cross paths. Planning mode also helps because you know exactly which files will be modified before going into execution mode. If you want to keep features in separate Git worktrees, https://conductor.build/ https://conductor.build/ is pretty nice.

Why?
- cloudking 1y ago
  I can build fullstack projects about 5x faster than I used to.

That's awesome, wow! Do you do anything to try to optimize / monitor token usage?
- cloudking 1y ago
  I use the 20x max plan, so rarely hit the limit. You can add token usage to /statusline

    Makes sense, thanks!

Ask you anything? Well here it goes... What languages do you use? What kind of projects? Do you maintain these projects or is this for greenfield development? Could you fix any bugs without Claude? Are these projects tested, who writes the tests. If it's Claude how do you know these tests actually test something sensible? Is anybody using these projects and what do users think of using these projects?
- cloudking 1y ago
  What languages do you use? - HTML, JavaScript, Python, PHP, Rust What kind of projects? - Web apps (consumer and enterprise), games Do you maintain these projects or is this for greenfield development? - Both, I have my own projects and client projects Could you fix any bugs without Claude? - Yes, I have decades of software development experience Are these projects tested, who writes the tests. If it's Claude how do you know these tests actually test something sensible? - For serious projects yes, I will define the test cases and have Claude build them out along with any additional cases it identifies. I use planning mode heavily before any code gets written. Is anybody using these projects and what do users think of using these projects? - Yes, these are real projects in production with real users :) They love them
