I think the highly parallel setups make more sense if you fully embrace vibe coding, but there's value to be had outside of that as well. Delegating tasks to sub-agents to help with context management is a good place to start.

I don't yolo much code, but even so, there are some times where you reach a point where parallelism starts to make sense.

Once you have a stable workflow and foundation, and you front load design and planning, you might see opportunities appear. Writing tests, testing loops, simple features, documentation, etc.

I'm not in research, but I could imagine trying to solve hard problems by trying different approaches, or testing against different data, all in parallel.
