Sick of waiting for agents to run and then having to debug

An engineer using Claude for AI-assisted coding reports frustration with waiting for agents to complete tasks and having to context-switch, and seeks a solution for autonomous feedback loops that run tests, check logs, and retry without human input. The engineer asks whether others face the same issue and have found solutions.

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. I 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. Are others running into this issue? And have you found any solution?
