I had this exact problem, tried opening multiple agents in different terminals but that just frays your flow state even more. There is one great workaround I’ve found.
Walk coding. Walkoding, if you like.
Use a harness, create a harness if you like, then load it up in telegram and off you go. I’ve been on solo hiking trips and shipped numerous features. It means you can stay concentrated on your task, while not sitting there being bored.
It’s truly liberating, highly recommend.
Are you pausing your hike to review code, check tests, and so on? Or do you just keep prompting blind until you get done with the hike and then batch review all the work?
Sorry if this is a dumb question, I haven't tried any harness-based development yet so perhaps I'm imagining a deprecated workflow in the first place
I've also tried this. Very interesting, but must be used sparingly in my experience. Hiking is a place where before I used to go to think, or not think at all. Prompting an AI while doing so can feel very bad if really what I'm looking for is some disconnection or quiet thinking time.
yeah, makes perfect sense to go for a hike through nature whole checking a phone every 3-8 minutes...
Well no, you don't check it, you have notifications set up so it notifies you when it's waiting for you. If you don't want to hikevibecode, don't. No one's forcing you, who are you to yuck someone else's yum?
Isn’t yucking the yum of others the foundation of human society?
The foundations of society are cooperation, reciprocity, shared stories/norms, and social enforcement. Yucking someone's yum falls under that last category.
