What this session covers

We’re finally at a point with coding where we can truly work on multiple tasks at once - and actually have it be an enjoyable and manageable experience! I’ll demonstrate how I split my work across multiple surfaces: the VS Code IDE when I need to be the most hands-on, the GitHub Copilot desktop app for tasks that require light supervision, and cloud agents for routine maintenance. I’ll share my tips for enabling truly parallel development of full-stack web applications thanks to git worktrees and smart environment variable management. Plus, I’ll share my favorite automation workflows that run while I’m asleep, saving me time so that I can focus on the fun parts of software development.
