chatting with @mattzcarey, and he said we need a new word/phrase for that feeling when you suddenly start operating at a higher level of thinking with these coding agents. the closest I have is "fluency", like when learning a spoken language or a guitar, when you stop thinking about subject/verb/object, or which string your fingers are touching, and you start thinking in ideas and song structure. there's a "hump" that you cross after which the process stops being so punishing and you can actually express youself.
