Sure. I do that too. However, the article talks about something very different. What you describe is Stage 2 or 3 as listed in the article. I want to see a demonstration of Stage 8 in action.

> First, you should locate yourself on the chart. What stage are you in your AI-assisted coding journey? > Stage 1: Zero or Near-Zero AI: maybe code completions, sometimes ask Chat questions > Stage 2: Coding agent in IDE, permissions turned on. A narrow coding agent in a sidebar asks your permission to run tools. > Stage 3: Agent in IDE, YOLO mode: Trust goes up. You turn off permissions, agent gets wider. > Stage 4: In IDE, wide agent: Your agent gradually grows to fill the screen. Code is just for diffs. > Stage 5: CLI, single agent. YOLO. Diffs scroll by. You may or may not look at them. > Stage 6: CLI, multi-agent, YOLO. You regularly use 3 to 5 parallel instances. You are very fast. > Stage 7: 10+ agents, hand-managed. You are starting to push the limits of hand-management. > Stage 8: Building your own orchestrator. You are on the frontier, automating your workflow. > *If you’re not at least Stage 7, or maybe Stage 6 and very brave, then you will not be able to use Gas Town. You aren’t ready yet.*
