No, I'd say they actually help me stay in flow. The autocomplete mode takes care of annoying boilerplate (mostly) and if I'm stuck on something the chat mode can often provide a suggestion that helps me unstuck (even if not usable directly). These two help me keep the state on for longer.

Agent mode just produces dogshit that takes me longer to clean than if I wrote it myself to begin with. I don't use that.

Fair enough, but for most frontend or UI/UX tasks I do you claude code which is similar to Agent mode and that's when I have these constant interruptions in the flow. I believe this will be worse in the near future as agents become more powerful.

		In my home country we have this story: a person goes to the doctor and complains "Doctor! It hurts when I touch my knee!" to which the doctor replies "then stop touching your knee." Contrary to popular belief you won't be left behind if you don't use these "agents". If they ever get good enough that they don't need babysitting anymore and make you 10x productive, then you can simply adopt their use then. Any current skillset regarding prompting won't stay relevant. Though I will caveat that I work on more niche subjects, not frontend, so my perception of their usefulness may be skewed.
