I recently found myself in a deep state of flow while coding — the kind where time melts away and you gain real clarity about the software you’re building. The difference this time: I was using Claude Code primarily. If my recent posts are any indication, I’ve been experimenting a lot with AI coding — not just with toy side projects, but high-stakes production code for my day job. I have a flow that I think works pretty well. I’m documenting it here as a way to hone my own process and, hopefully, benefit others as well. set the stage plan with the agent (no really 🤮) spawn your agents verify and refactor the final review
