A DevOps professional with over a decade of experience notes a significant decline in their ability to achieve a "flow state" since the integration of AI agents into their development process. The author describes the current workflow as characterized by constant waiting for AI responses, leading to fragmented attention and mental fatigue, which they term "ADHD development." They propose that a shift towards managing groups of related tasks within a shared context, rather than single tasks, could potentially restore flow at an orchestration level, emphasizing that genuine passion for a project remains the core driver for achieving this state.
