A developer supervising four coding agents has four changes in flight at once, each in its own git worktree. That isn’t an exotic setup anymore: Anthropic’s documentation now treats a worktree per session as the default way to run agents in parallel, and what was an expert workflow two years ago is the recommended starting point today.
The branches themselves aren’t new. Git made them cheap 20 years ago so developers could isolate changes and work on several things at once, but in practice a developer switched between branches and shipped one change at a time. That kept everything below the code layer singular: one continuous integration (CI) queue, one staging environment, one database everyone tested against. The number of changes contending for those shared resources was capped by headcount, and before agents, only larger teams ever hit the cap.
“Coding agents removed the cap. The branch can no longer stop at the code layer.”
Coding agents removed the cap. Those four branches are no longer something one developer rotates through. They are four active changes moving toward merge in parallel. The gap becomes unworkable: branching is free at the code layer and missing everywhere below it. Each change needs to exist all the way down the stack, not as a diff in a directory but as a running, testable version of the system. The branch can no longer stop at the code layer.
Parallel until the first shared resource
Code branches in milliseconds. A worktree gives each agent a private copy of the repository for the cost of a checkout, and 10 agents can work side by side …
