Since I'm bouncing between multiple teams' projects, this LLM agent-assisted coding thing reminds me of multi-box mining in EVE Online.
I haven't done that in years, but it was a way to make mining more interesting. You could fill in the lulls in gameplay by swapping between ships, treating it more like real-time strategy.
It's totally spinning plates and it's a more energy-consuming activity than I might have first expected.
I'm really leaning on the Command-Backtick button to cycle through IDE windows to shepherd the Claude Code sessions as they crunch through execution plans.
There is kind of a hyperfocus flow state available—not in the coding on individual projects, but in swapping between agents, keeping things running with answers to questions, performing rescues from ditches.
This seems appealing to my ADHD brain, until or unless I get distracted in a way that lets plates start falling.
I am finding that writing or generating gratuitous notes as context for both me and the LLM is really handy. Especially helps me remember what I was trying to accomplish when I last cycled into some particular IDE window.
