Second this. My solution is to have a 'non-AI' IDE and then a Cursor/VS Code to switch between. Deep work cannot be achieved by chatting with the coding bots, sorry.
- morkalork 1y agoThirded. It was just completely distracting and I had to turn it off. I use AI but not after every keystroke, jeez.
- latentsea 1y agoBut but but... "we are an AI-first company". Yeah, nah. Fourthed!
- mdp2021 1y ago> AI-first company Does anybody introduce itself like that? It's like when your date sends subtle signals, like kicking sleeping tramps in the street and snorting the flour over bread at the restaurant. (The shocking thing is that the expression would even make sense when taken properly - "we have organized our workflows through AI-intelligent systems" -, while at this time it easily means the opposite.)
- neilv 1y ago> > AI-first company > Does anybody introduce itself like that? Yes, I've started getting job posts sent to me that say that. Declaring one's company "AI-first" right now is a great time-saver: I know instantly that I can disregard that company.

- bluefirebrand 1y agoI don't believe you experience deep work the same way I do then In my mind you cannot do deep work while being interrupted constantly, and LLM agents are constant interruptions
- soulofmischief 1y agoYou can do better than a No true Scotsman fallacy. The fact is that not everyone works the same way you do, or interacts the same way with agents. They are not constant interruptions if you use them correctly. Essentially, this is a skill issue and you're at the first peak of the Dunning–Kruger curve, sooner ready to dismiss those with more experience in this area as being less experienced, instead of keeping an open mind and attempting to learn from those who contradict your beliefs. You could have asked for tips since I said I've found a way to work deeply with them, but instead chose to assume that you knew better. This kind of attitude will stunt your ability to adopt these programs in the same way that many people were dismissive about personal computers or the internet and got left behind.
- girvo 1y agoIt’s quite amusing to see you complain about patronisation, and then see you turn about and do it yourself one comment later.
- soulofmischief 1y agoI'm open to hearing how being honest with them about their negative approach is patronizing them.
- NicoSchwandner 1y agoI do this as well and it works quite well for me like that! Additionally, when working on microservices and on issues that don’t seem too straightforward, I use o3 and copy the whole code of the repo into the prompt and refine a plan there and then paste it as a prompt into cursor. Handy if you don’t have MAX mode, but a company-sponsored ChatGPT.
- vasusen 1y agoI do this too by pasting only the relevant context files into O3 or Claude 4. We have an internal tool that just lets us select folders/files and spit out one giant markdown.
- thunspa 1y agoI just cmd + shift + p -> disable Cursor tab -> enter Sure, you could just add a shortcut too. After a while, it turns into a habit.
- BowBun 1y agoHonestly this might do the trick...
- SV_BubbleTime 1y agoThis is kind of intentionally the flow with Claude code as I’ve experienced it. I’m in VSCode doing my thing, and it’s in a terminal window that occasionally needs or wants my attention. I can go off and be AI-Free for as long as I like.
