Mitchell Hashimoto (HashiCorp founder) describes months of deliberate parallel execution testing. The pattern: maintain at least one agent running at all times. While you code, an agent plans. Before leaving your desk, queue a slow task (research, edge case analysis, library comparison). His "competitive agent" approach runs two different models against the same problem for high-stakes decisions, capping at two to avoid merge complexity.
