Flow Management

Flow comes when challenge meets skill

Too much skill and too little challenge creates boredom;

too little skill and too much challenge creates anxiety

I will start by saying I don't have much experience with the latest AI coding tools.

From what I've seen using them would lead to more boredom. I like solving problems. I don't like doing code reviews. I wouldn't trust any AI generated code at this stage without reviewing it. If I could swap that around so I write code and AI gives me a reasonable code review and catches my mistakes I'd be much more interested.
