Devs miss flow state with AI agents — faster loops from Cerebras may bring it back

Gergely Orosz observes that almost every developer he asked misses coding flow state — agent-assisted coding feels different and less satisfying, except devs building novel agentic systems with zero blueprints, who must invent everything themselves.

vivekhaldar replies this may be a temporary local minimum: if Cerebras et al make the agent loop as fast as running unit tests, developers can regain flow — the bottleneck is feedback latency, not agents themselves.
