The Swarm Next Door: Running Parallel AI Agents on a Real Android Codeba…
summary
Claims a practical workflow for running parallel AI coding agents on a real multi‑module Android repo using git worktrees and tmux panes to isolate agents, orchestration of director/implementer/reviewer/fixer personas, and Gradle cache tricks that make parallel builds survivable. Shows a live setup, reports a three-agent sweet spot on an 8‑core i7 with 32 GB (six agents become unusable), measures ~76% of generated tests as usable, and flags failures: entangled features and anything needing deep architectural judgment.
