Ask HN: How to use Codex for multiple tasks without PR merge conflicts?

6 points by ionwake ↗ HN
Is there a technique? IE jsut do the tasks synchronously etc? I have tried github actions to try rebase branches on pushes but no real joy finding a stable work process. I wondered if anyone has any hints?

Just like writing normal software: have it work on different parts of the codebase that don't have overlap, or do the work sequentially. AI is a time compressor, but it's still constrained by the same problems as normal engineers.

If one task changes the button to green, and the other one changes it to red at the same time, something will have to decide how to reconcile that difference

Have you tried using git worktree. Your tasks should be fairly independent though.
