AI agents killed my flow state — here's the task-mixing method that got it back
haltakov · x · 2026-10-06
Developer haltakov explains how agents destroyed his programming flow and his fix: mix tasks needing different attention types (deep feature work, agent-guided deploys, light visual work), let agents hold task details instead of your brain's limited RAM, and require short situation summaries with clear tradeoffs when agents need input. Key claim: you can have both agent speed and deep flow by offloading context.
