What happens if you put work into the second dimension?
The author discusses the shift toward agentic coding and the resulting 'context switching' fatigue in software development. They introduce a 2D canvas tool called Campus designed to organize work more holistically.
Why it matters
Highlights the evolving challenges of developer productivity in an era where AI agents handle significant portions of coding tasks.
I built a prototype of a 2D canvas you can put all of your work on: real terminals, running apps and browsers side by side instead of a row of tabs. We, at FlutterFlow , got so obsessed with using it that we built a full product out of it, Campus . It's free and available for macOS now. Next comes the story of how we got here …
Just a few years ago, development was organized in a pretty straightforward way. Plan the work in more or less detail, then work on those features for the next week or two, rinse and repeat. With the advent of agentic coding, that has completely changed. Planning or discussing certain types of work has itself become slower than just letting the agent do the work.
