Rotating between three harnesses to find what actually works

After trying Claude Code with task-farming and a Qwen-as-orchestrator experiment, this person settled into two parallel workflows — Orca as the local workhorse, and OpenCode or Bionic for solo agent development.

This person's app-development setup has gone through several iterations: Claude Code with a task-distribution tool, then an experiment having Qwen act as planner and orchestrator spawning Sonnet subagents, which they found genuinely effective. They've landed on two parallel workflows now — Orca as their local workhorse, especially valuable when frontier models get rate-limited, primarily on Qwen 3.6 and 3.8 with some Devstral in the mix, and OpenCode or Bionic for more solo, exploratory agent development.
