The waiting sucks! It gets me out the zone too. I noticed it helps me to use the fast Claude models when not doing complex or planning stuff, as it’s soo much faster. It got better with 4.x luckily.
Thanks for this post, very interesting. Glad to read that I'm not alone being bored about the waiting. More than a year of Cursor usage, I'm kinda see some serious downside to this amazing productivity: it erodes my focus. This waiting have something to do with it imho, because it urge me to do something else, and it often (always?) doesn't have to do with code. I can't focus on code as I focused back in the day, struggling on bugs with tens of Stack Overflow tabs. Did you find a balance on what to code "by hand", and what to do with AI?
The loss of focus is real. And something I don't have an answer to. I think the big next step for me will be finding flow state while working with AI. It happened so often when handwriting code but is now rare to nonexistent.
