Nice way of gatekeeping "flow state of programmers", considering I have been a software engineer for the past 2 decades. So I have experienced quite some flow states in my life, and this is no different.

It takes quite the practice. At least I have been shipping stuff to users like this for the entire year.

It definitely changed how I get into flow state for me. But music still works, if not even better when coding with AI (listening to: techno, electro, edm). Generally my flow is to sit down, make a small plan of what I will work on, fire off

Also to add another point is that if you felt like an agent did not help you correctly, or way overshot, did too much edits, etc. Go back to the original prompt, rephrase it - sometimes you need 1-2 times. Sometimes the model just don'

I usually do write the whole article. Maybe I spend an hour on it. Sometimes even much longer. And then I have a way of rewriting it with AI to improve the writing style. Which I then proof read and keep improving. I do this because reading

I land most of my clients by maintaining my blog and a github with open source projects. I have build a lot of general purpose MCPs and quite some tools, which are all written by Claude (3.5 and 4.0) and now GPT5. On my blog I just blog tog

I have been in software for 20 years, and was just about to quit 2-3 years ago because of how mundane things became. And now I am actually loving it again because of AI. I'd say, AI writes 95% of my code, and I use it for 75% of the de

I find it absolutely awesome: 1. I love AI/ML hearing about stuff, and seeing it boom this much is great. 2. I really do enjoy working with LLMs and seeing what they can do. 3. It is quite amazing what non-technical people can now do w

Perfectly fair. It's not like YouTube is some free open source platform. Infra needs to be paid, creators need to be paid, they have a whole eco-system. Why not just pay for premium if you use it that much?

I still don't understand how cursor is making any money at all. I spend so much time inside cursor, that I am spending 10-20$ per day on additional requests. Now if I connect model provider APIs to windsurf, I'd be spending upward
