Ask HN: Is anyone experimenting with different ways of using LLMs for coding?

The poster can’t reach flow state with coding agents: “a bicycle that just brakes abruptly every couple minutes. I stop, wait, review, prompt again.” The thread is a good sample of 2026 workflows people have built around the problem: TODO files as free-text prompt queues, JSX templating languages for context piping, custom harnesses running in VMs with their own email accounts and Linear boards, and agents generating diagrams of their changes at different abstraction levels to speed up human understanding.
