    I've had a hard time trying to explain this to non-engineers, but whenever I talk to a fellow developer they're struck by the same feeling. We've lost that magic flow state when your heads down on a problem.

    Not to say that it's all bad, there's something quite fun about coding with AI, but I do feel like we're losing something that was fundamentally part of being a developer. I'm late to less meetings though.
