"Flibbertigibbeting" and "Beboppin" are the new i'm waiting for it to compile, but while the binary outcome of compilation (either it compiles or it doesn't) keeps your head in the game, the open-endedness of a Claude response can be disorienting after you've come back from the YouTube/Reddit wormhole -- like how on Monday you ask yourself wtf you were doing on Friday. But it's just a matter of time before prompting is as fast as Googling... and then it's off to collecting UBI!

Yeah, my assumed neurodivergence has never been more apparent to me than in these moments. Sometimes it feels like genuinely more stuff is getting done in parallel, but I haven't figured out the key to this kind of performance. So, at times it is just the fatigue from context switching without the results that would justify it.

Yes, often working on several topics in parallel (usualy 3 to 4) and that's a big mental effort to switch from one to the other, also drifting from some priority topics to useless stuff... I never really step back on that but I agree that this is a real problem that can lead to inefficiency

> time of waiting till AI is done So you are saying that you are not running multiple shit in parallel?

This is how people work now?

I come to HN...
