It's been extremely difficult for me to achieve a flow state while using tools like `claude code` because I have to wait after every interaction. I get easily distracted, my mind wonders and I find myself reading HN and browsing the internet.
I'm more productive in most of the tasks I need to do but in some of these detours I loose long periods of times without even noticing. I've tried keeping the console open and reading through the AI agent process but that gets me nervous after a few interactions.
I also don't enjoy it as much. I don't get the feeling of accomplishment after finishing a new feature and everything feels fragmented.
Even using multiple sessions doesn't do the trick for me because I need to change task context every time. Does this happen to anyone else? Any recommendations?
How do you think we can achieve flow state while in this transition period while AI coding still needs constant hand holding and reviews?
