I've been maintaining an open source productivity app (Super Productivity) for 9 years and working as a programmer for much longer than that. When AI coding agents came along, they changed how I work - but the other tools and habits I grow comfortable with over the years, weren't a good fit anymore.

One agent works on a feature. I wait, get distracted, start something else. Finally, I come back, review, start the next one. Wait again. Get distracted again. I had a backlog of ideas and the tools to build them, but things got messy. I was doing a lot, but I felt like I'd lost control compared to how I used to code.
