Comment on Ask HN: How do you use 5–10 minute gaps productively?parent

Comments

Downtime / doing nothing is so crucial for letting your brain marinate over a problem or idea! Leave those gaps be.

Option B: Have a side project or personal you're hacking on with Claude/Codex and pop back to the terminal to respond to the latest prompt / get in cranking on the next feature.

Absolutely! The best ideas come during downtime.
