My hobbyist programmer way of coping with latency is to do one AI task at a time, but interspersed with non-programmer things like having breakfast, practicing music, surfing the Internet, and naps. I still get more done in a day coding with AI than I did while actually working. 1/

Also, "what are the commits" and "ok, ask Luna subagents to implement them" is working out as an adequate form of planning.
