Subagents Overwriting Each Other While You Watch

Description

A white-background 3D mannequin meme. In the foreground, two featureless gray-white figures grapple—one with a hand on the other's shoulder, the other wrapping an arm around the torso—labeled "Subagents overwriting each other in a loop." In the background a third figure stands in a thinking pose, hand on chin, labeled "Me." The joke is 2026 agentic coding: Claude Code/Cursor/Codex spawn parallel write-capable subagents on a shared worktree, they race to edit the same files, last-write-wins (or stale overwrites) loops, and the human just spectates instead of isolating worktrees.
