local development used to be human-paced: one developer, one editor, occasional builds and tests. consumer ssd endurance assumptions were built around that pattern.
agent-driven development changes the load profile. when you run 4-32 local agents in parallel, each doing build, test, validation, and coding loops, write pressure scales horizontally just like cpu and memory demand.
