Hello all, I'm a software developer. Over the last few months more and more of my work has turned into using coding agents instead of typing the whole code myself. Usually a few claude sessions at once, sometimes codex, one per feature or per revealed bug. I ran them in a split terminal for a few weeks, and quickly spotted two main problems. The first is that I couldn't easily tell which agent was stuck waiting on me and which was still working, so I'd cycle through sessions and checking on them. The second one: agents sharing a single branch step on each other. Two of them could be editing…

Mike, cofounder of DevSwarm here. I’ve been using Claude Code heavily for the last few months (multiple Max plans). Running sessions in parallel across git branches or worktrees is fast, but it breaks down quickly in practice because of sprawl. Terminals everywhere, editor windows everywhere, and you lose track of basics like which agent is on which branch and what is ready for review. DevSwarm is what we built to solve that. The core abstraction is simple: workspace equals branch. Each workspace runs its agent session(s) and keeps the state visible. In 2.0 we added a full VS Code IDE…

Hey HN, Over the past 10 months I've been using Claude Code heavily, and one limitation kept coming up: you can really only run one coding agent at a time. While one agent is refactoring something, the rest of the repo is basically blocked unless you start manually juggling branches and working directories. The core issue is that AI coding agents operate directly in your filesystem. If two agents run in the same working directory they quickly start stepping on each other’s changes. Git worktrees turned out to be a surprisingly good primitive for solving this. So I built ChatML, a Desktop app…
