Norbert Kozsir describes how he built a 2D canvas workspace prototype at FlutterFlow, leading to the product Campus, a free macOS app that lets you place terminals, apps, and browsers side by side to reduce context switching in agentic coding workflows.
Git worktrees, a feature available since 2015, are gaining popularity as AI-era parallel work makes them essential. This article explains what worktrees are, how they differ from branches, and why they reduce context-switching overhead for developers.
The author argues that the rise of AI agents and constant context switching has eroded the meditative flow state that programming once provided, and recommends that programmers adopt meditation or other mindful practices to compensate.
Fil-C introduces memory-safe implementation of setjmp/longjmp and ucontext APIs, preventing dangling stack corruption and panicking on misuse.
A reflection on why AI agents often fail to gain adoption: they force users to switch contexts, creating friction that outweighs perceived value. The author suggests designing agents to integrate directly into existing workflows.
The article discusses a new form of burnout caused by AI, where workers experience mental exhaustion from constantly supervising and correcting AI outputs, leading to high cognitive load and context switching.
