Their wordsI've found these gaps are awful for my concentration. Just today I watched a 22-minute YouTube video while waiting on my agents to finish their tasks. I probably opened Twitter 10/15 times today as well. I'll get so caught up in a video or looking through my feed that I don't even realise my agents have finished what they're doing and are waiting on me for next steps.

Their wordsI've noticed I can't listen to music while working with AI. When I was writing code by hand, I had things mostly mapped out in my head, it was go time. But with AI, I'm constantly reading its output, thinking/checking, then writing my next prompt. It's a different kind of concentration. I can't listen to music at the same time.

Their wordsIt just makes me sad that the way I used to enjoy programming might be gone for good. I'm only 23. I've been programming professionally for just over six years. I got into it because it was fun. I enjoyed building things, figuring stuff out and tinkering away on projects. That hobby turned into my career and I'm fortunate enough to do something I enjoy. I never expected to be thinking the "good old days" were behind me so soon.

Their wordsOne of the biggest, if not the biggest change, will be the fact that orders will no longer be entries. Orders don't really belong in collections, they're not content after all.
