Using multiple AI coding agents without creating chaos
Using multiple AI coding agents can be beneficial if each tool has a clear role and a structured workflow. This involves designing a workflow where their strengths complement each other, keeping tasks small, and defining file ownership to avoid chaos. It's essential to keep the human in control of intent, reviewing diffs, and running tests after each meaningful change. This approach can help with large refactors, adding tests, reviewing generated code, and debugging failures. However, it's less useful for tiny changes.
