I have been coding for more than 20 years now and nothing has changed my coding habit more than LLMs. I am a touch typer and use a blue mechnical keyboard since I love typing so much and have been used to writing a lot of code.

But ever since LLMs have released, I do find myself writing long prompts and then waiting for LLM to do the implementation. They are not perfect by any means and make a lot of mistakes, but I have found that verbose prompting does usually get the job done.

Now these sessions usually last a few hours due to how slow LLMs are and I usually work on larger pieces of work. I am used to working long hours and typing for a long time, but this is new. I find myself waiting for 70% of the time for an operation to happen.

I find myself watching tv shows or youtube videos or even doing some creative writing on the side while LLMs do their work.

So I was just wondering what other creative things the HN crowd has come up with to do while LLMs are doing the grunt work for you.
