Comment on Ask HN: What do you do while LLM is writing code

Comments

as someone who misses the coding sessions and deep work, my workflow here is evolving. youtube and leisure stuff takes me too far out of work that i avoid it.

so far the best thing i’ve found is to have a side project or two that doesn’t require deep concentration or as high a level of quality as your main project to vibe code on the side while i’m waiting.

one of the benefits of it is that it sometimes doing other stuff often takes me down a rabbit hole of working on my own cli tools or other knickknacks that make my life easier.

We are slowly literally becoming the "unrealistic" developers often shown in movies: a terminal running a bunch of lines on one or two screens, us moving our attention between multiple windows, shipping multiple apps at once.

The idea of working on a side project while your AI is working on your main object would have been unfathomable a couple of years ago.

Life imitates art...
