Interesting. I feel like it makes my ADHD worse. If I code “manually” then I can enter hyperfocus/flow and it’s relaxing. If I use AI to code then I have to sit around waiting for it to respond and I get distracted and start something else, forgetting what I was doing before. Maybe there’s a better workflow for me though.
I don't have ADHD but I've set Codex CLI to send me a push notification via PushOver when it ends its turn and it helps a lot.
you gotta use faster models, this is the next big leap in agentic coding. In 2 years we will have opus 4.5 at 1000 tokens/sec and it will be glorious.
Try running multiple agents - more task switching overhead, but I find planning in one agent while another is executing is a good balance for me, and avoids the getting-distracted trap
task switching is precisely an issue with adhd though
I'm adhd as well, so I get the pain. I tend to try and do frontend / backend on a single project to at least stay within the same domain
It helps to be able to ask at inside any session at any point "yo, what were we doing and how's it going"
