I resonate on the exhaustion — actually, the context switching fatigue is why we built Sculptor for ourselves (https://imbue.com/sculptor). We usually see devs running 4-6 agents in parallel today using Sculptor today. Personally I think much of the fatigue comes from: 1) friction in spawning agents 2) friction in reviewing agent changes 3) context management annoyance when e.g. you start debugging part of the agent's work but then have to reload context to continue the original task

It's still super early, but we've felt a lot less fatigued using Sculptor so far. To make it easier to spawn agents without worrying, we run agents in containers so they can run in YOLO mode and don't interfere with each other. To make it easy to review changes, we made "Pairing Mode", lets you instantly sync any agent's work from the container into your local IDE to test it, then switch to another.

For context management, we just shipped the ability to fork agents form any point in the convo history, so you can reuse an agent that you loaded with high-quality context and fork off to debug an agent's changes or try all options it presented. It also lets you keep a few explorations going and check in when you have time.

Anyway, sorry, shilling the product a bit much but I just wanted to say that we've seen people successfully use more than 2 agents without feeling exhausted!
