Running 9 AI Coding Agents at Once: The Terminal I Built to Keep Up

Booking tickets, ordering food, hailing rides — all the places where AI is supposed to “help” are just UX graveyards we’ve created. You don’t hand over booking a flight to an AI because it’s beneath you — you do it because it’s a multi-hour nightmare.
Building a Retro-Styled Blog with Windsurf
