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

I'm a bit annoyed by the feeling that we're kind of stuck when it comes to using LLMs for programming.

I use Claude Code and Codex, but I haven't been able to enter flow state like I can when I hand write code.

This is kind of ironic to me since AI should be a bicycle for the mind, but right now it feels like a bicycle that just brakes abruptly every couple minutes. I stop, wait, review, prompt again.

Is there anyone exploring something fundamentally different than the prompt response loop we have today?

I actually think the idea of a tab model is directionally better than prompt response.

Would love to hear about any startups, personal experiments, etc.
