How do you maintain a state of flow when "vibe engineering"?
Pretty much what's in the title. One of the hardest things I've found when using tools like Claude Code is staying as concentrated as when I'm doing all the coding myself. Perhaps a skill issue on my end, so curious as to how other folks manage their attention in a world of coding agents.
(I'm submitting this while waiting for some code...)
I use vibe coding for trivial stuff that otherwise will take me lot of time to code myself or for languages I don’t know. I either feed the LLM the whole code module, or since the beginning of a vibe-coded module, I copy all the prompts and responses into a word file (easier to parse) and feed it back to the LLM if I need a bug fix or change. Most of the modules, however, I write myself.
In a given day, you're getting as much work done while also putting in
solid YouTube and HN time. I'd say AI is making good on its promise.
