Positives

Using AI tools like Claude Code can enhance productivity by streamlining the development process, allowing developers to focus on more complex tasks.
The worktree system effectively reduces context-switching friction, enabling developers to manage multiple tasks without collisions, which can lead to a more dynamic workflow.

Concerns
