I want to describe a completely ordinary hour from my week, because I suspect it's your week too.
A scene from my actual workday
I'm building a small feature. I open my AI chat — Claude on this particular day, but it rotates — and ask it to draft the data model. Great answer. I copy it into my editor. I tab back and ask for the API route. Good answer. Copy, paste, tweak the parts that don't fit my setup. Now I need a quick migration script, so I ask again, copy again, switch again.
Then the feature needs a short doc. Different tab. I paste the AI's summary into the doc, reformat it, fix the parts that assumed things that aren't true. Then someone wants the numbers in a spreadsheet, so I ask the AI to compute them, and I copy the results into the sheet by hand. Then a couple of slides. Another tool. Another paste.
At some point I looked at my screen and counted the tabs. Fourteen. The AI was living in exactly one of them, narrating instructions to me while I ran around being its hands.
