🦄 ai that works: Coding Agents in Parallel with Worktrees
🦄 ai that works
A weekly conversation about how we can all get the most juice out of todays models with @vaibcode & @dexhorthy
https://github.com/ai-that-works/ai-that-works
Since ~ May 2025, there's been a ton of buzz around AI coding agents, parallelizing workflows, and its not stopping any time soon. On this episode we'll go deep on the tech that can help you push the limits of these tools, including:
Crash course on Git Worktrees
File and Spec Management, tradeoffs in hardlinks vs symlinks
tmux as a building block for collaborative agent workflows
This one's gonna feel a little different but as always we'll do some deep technical diagrams, get hands on with the code, and give you actionable tricks you can use to get more (maybe even better?) results from AI tools.
Pre-reading
To prevent repeating the basics, we recommend you come in having already understanding some of the tooling we will be using:
Discord
Cursor or VS Code
Programming languages
Application Logic: Python or Typescript or Go
Prompting: BAML (recommend video)
