A developer described running 7–10 agent tabs at once, using /loop to collect product suggestions and bug reports from social platforms into Notion for AI processing and completion marking, and using the strongest model weekly to review conversations and pitfalls into the open-source Waza skills collection. The same developer uses a Mac as the main device connected to a Parallels VM, an always-on ThinkPad X1 accessed remotely via UU, and an Android tablet so AI can work across environments — via 1
