Developers report agent-based coding is less satisfying than flow-state work

Gergely Orosz says most developers he asked miss the flow state of hands-on coding and find agent-based work less satisfying.

He reports one exception: developers building agentic systems with no existing blueprints, who must design the approach themselves. The report is a single X post by Orosz, based on his conversations with developers; no survey counts or sample size are given.
