Imagine this: You’re juggling 3 different feature developments simultaneously, each requiring independent testing. Previously, you’d need 3 terminals, switching between 3 branches, frantically context-switching like a maniac.
Now, everything has changed.
Anthropic quietly released a game-changing feature in Claude Code’s GitHub changelog—Async Background Agents.
Interestingly, their official website and blog mention nothing about it. It’s like an intentionally hidden easter egg.
Why Is This 2025’s Most Underestimated AI Programming Breakthrough?
Let me illustrate with a real scenario:
Last week, I needed to test 3 different theme designs for an application. The traditional approach would require:
Cloning 3 codebases
Creating 3 branches
Opening 3 Claude instances
Constantly switching contexts, my brain is overloading like a CPU
The result? I completed in one afternoon what would traditionally take an entire day.
