The engineer asks whether others face the same issue and have found solutions.", "body_md": "I am an engineer and i spend so much of my time vibe coding using claude and its been great because I am able to get a lot done but its also incredibly frustrating.\n\nI spend so much time waiting for the agents to complete running, during which time i end up moving to another task. The context switching is so tedious. For more complex tasks, I would like for it to happen without my input. I try to give it multiple steps of instructions and let it to run and it works to an extent but it doesnt work when i have to periodically test things on a separate environment (like on a pre production environment with multiple settings). I would like for it to run its own tests, look at the logs and verify that its working and then get to the next step or retry. Kind of like a feedback loop that keeps getting monitored at all hours of the day.\n\nAre others running into this issue? And have you found any solution?\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49141048](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49141048)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 1", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/sick-of-waiting-for-agents-to-run-and-then-having-to-debug", "canonical_source": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49141048", "published_at": "2026-08-02 04:18:24+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-02 04:52:55.013662+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "developer-tools", "artificial-intelligence"], "entities": ["Claude"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/sick-of-waiting-for-agents-to-run-and-then-having-to-debug", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/sick-of-waiting-for-agents-to-run-and-then-having-to-debug.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/sick-of-waiting-for-agents-to-run-and-then-having-to-debug.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/sick-of-waiting-for-agents-to-run-and-then-having-to-debug.jsonld"}}
