Parallel code agents are becoming a practical engineering pattern

An ETRNA constructive tech read on why bounded parallel agent work is starting to look like a real engineering operating model.

Parallel code agents matter when work is scoped cleanly, integration stays canonical, and verification remains centralized instead of letting agents collide across the same files.
