TL;DR

I try to keep my eyes on the AI agents. I gave one too much rope once, and the kind of mess it made while I wasn't watching is something I'd rather not retell.

Which is why I needed 5 monitors. To run 5 agents in parallel, 5 VSCode windows have to live in one field of view.

Physical monitors hit a wall. No desk fits five; even my viewing angle gives out before the desk does.

So I strapped on a VR headset. Immersed and Overay (not a typo — that really is the name) project monitors into virtual space.

Putting it on is slow and annoying. And that exact annoyance is what keeps me planted in one chair for 3-hour stretches once I'm in.

These days my routine is simple. Spin up four or five AI agents at once, hand each one a different project.…
