alt Hacker NewsI don’t get this tbh, I use Claude too and my issue is the opposite - too many small breaks. Every time I hit enter my brain wants to checkout because the agent just spins while it creates thousands of tokens and churns on the subject. Even if it’s only 2m, that’s 2m where my mind has nothing to work on.
Hard to stay in flow and engaged.
Feels weirdly similar to being interrupted over slack.

I have never been in a flow state with an agent running. I use agents, but that isn’t flow.
I have similar problem but I have to switch contexts and it makes the work a lot more intense.
Are you a single agent user?
At least in my case, flow is gone. It’s all context switching now.
This. And another problem is that I feel not proud after completing the task. No sense of achievement.
you are correct flow is not achieved as this is not programming more like system design, architecture, QA, Product Owner work. It's using the swarm as your own dev team.
