What about things like copilot that are simply predictive autocomplete? It doesn’t pull you out of flow state but dramatically increases typing speed, especially for boilerplate.
- ab5tract 2y agoIt absolutely kills flow state for me personally because I’m being shown code completions that may or may not have anything to do with what I am actually about to write. When I allow myself to review the relevance and correctness of the attempted completion, I have to set aside the actual code that I was envisioning. This may or may not be easily recoverable after the (generally wrong) suggested completion is dismissed. I am not neurotypical, and we are all different anyway, so it is obviously different for others. But I disabled the active code assistance option at work almost immediately due to it being actively harmful to maintaining flow state.
