An AI engineer reflects on the impact of using AI tools on their ability to achieve a state of "flow" while coding. They observe that while AI enables them to produce more output and potentially spend more effort, the process of delegating tasks to AI and then reviewing them interrupts the unbroken concentration required for flow. The engineer is seeking insights from other developers on how they maintain flow states when integrating AI into their daily coding practices. AI
