I feel attacked. I still dislike most team meetings, agile ceremonies, etc. Slack and emails give me anxiety. A 30 min meeting will disrupt me for 90 minutes. But, yea, the code was never the bottleneck. Except maybe when I worked at a startup. All of the above are true.

Personally I find it hilarious that the same people at my company who can't be bothered to write down detailed requirements and are constantly fighting any effort to do research or technical documentation or pay down tech debt are now trying vibe coding and struggling to produce anything useful. Oh you don't understand why you aren't getting the results you expected? Maybe you should try thinking deeper about what you expect before your rush your engineers or, now, your agents.

Um… how do you get those requirements if slack / email give you anxiety ? And meetings are disruptive ?

I am genuinely curious. I understand where you are coming from, you want to maintain flow state.

How does one effectively load the funnel to support flow state ?

Jira tickets? Requirements documents in some kind of ALM tool?

Isn't solving problems, instead of blindly implementing a high-level description of the solution, your job as a developer?
