In my experience, the machine works for 10-30s. I think the only productive use of time during those gaps is meditation. Still however, flow state cannot be achieved. Vibe coding, for me is pretty horrible for anything that might approximate production code. It is useful for quick prototyping or used as a learning tool. I assume it will get better but a far more satisfying experience would be for it to work offline, creating PRs for incremental improvements that are easy to review. I suppose this is something like the "Devin" model but I haven't used this due to the price and have heard bad things about it.

Check out several copies of the repo and work on different branches concurrently.

I suspect the context switches would kill productivity. This is not where the puck is going in my opinion.

Just like magic, OpenAI codex is now available in my ChatGPT+ subscription. I greatly prefer this async style workflow. For me, getting a useful PR is so much better than banging my head against the wall with synchronous tools like Windsurf.
