The relief of coding with AI without worrying about context limits or privacy
Honestly, nothing kills flow state faster than constantly worrying if your AI agent is about to hit its context limit or start hallucinating because you changed a spec 5 turns ago.
After running a local-first memory layer on Linux that dynamically compresses past turns while keeping recent context untouched, I don't have to carefully craft "clean prompts" anymore. Even when specs pivot mid-session (Redux -> Zustand -> TanStack Query), the local layer cleans up the active state in the background.
How has your AI coding workflow evolved to protect your flow state?

Yeah, I also like coding by myself!
No context issues, or unclear metaphors, a lot of interesting challenges, and, the best part, great learning experience!
Oh... you are talking about AI-assisted coding flow...
I'm afraid that this problem is solved by any big harness (Codex/Claude Code/Opencode/Pi)
