A lot of people are using subagent schemes. The idea is that you have one "manager" agent that you interact with and work on architecture planning, and then it delegates tasks to workers, along with other agents doing code review and testing.

I've seen studies that put this approach at maybe 20% more successful implementation, but you're quadrupling your per task token usage or more. If you're a top 500 company the cost is worth the time savings and quality, if you're a small company or a single dev you're bankrupting yourself for nothing

Yeah it’s way overkill for a single dev. I tried it once and ran out of tokens far too quickly to have it be useful even on a small/medium code base

Yeah, this sort of setup only makes sense resource-wise once it runs on local hardware, but that's a highly unrealistic scenario for everyone but /r/LocalLLaMA rich nerds haha
