I don’t think the problem is AI, the problem is the way we use AI and what we ask it to do. Flow comes from having a clear mental model, making decisions. If the LLMs model is making most of the decisions, I’m left trying to reconstruct someone else’s thinking after the fact.

I think that’s the key. Don’t hand over the thinking, use it as part of the loop. The more I use it, the better I get at knowing what to ask for, what to ignore, and when to take back control.

Same here. I built a small tool to keep them straight: it just lists past sessions per project and one click reopens the right one.

This is actually a great idea. I build a whole thing into my agent management platform that basically treats tickets (kinda like Jira, but not) as a store of shared context, then lets me launch prompts into the terminal with all the ticket history as context (all the file changes and prompt history, etc). I find that just having that context improves consistency quite a bit without pulling in a whole chat.
