Running 20 Claude Code terminal windows simultaneously with ADHD traits

A developer with ADHD traits (dyslexic, undiagnosed) describes running 20 Claude Code terminal windows simultaneously across different projects. Each terminal window holds context that their brain can't maintain, creating an externalized memory system using AI agents.
Productivity benefits
The developer identifies several advantages of this setup:
- Context-switching becomes productive rather than disruptive
- The burst-work rhythm matches their natural cognitive patterns
- Spelling errors don't matter when working with AI agents
Potential downsides
The article also examines the less healthy aspects of this workflow:
- Dopamine loop from constantly spinning up new projects and agents
- Tendency to hyperfocus on orchestrating agents rather than completing work
- Mental exhaustion by mid-afternoon ("brain fried by 3pm")
The developer frames this as an honest exploration rather than productivity advice, asking whether this intensive use of AI agents represents a healthy adaptation or creates new problems.
