You can start separate sessions for tasks like adding color scheme support, generating documentation, or building a backend, each with different models or modes. When sessions might conflict on the same codebase area, you can route one to a Git worktree to safely isolate changes. This workflow keeps developers productive by eliminating idle wait time between AI-assisted tasks. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
