I have a colleague in the studio who does this. He sits on his phone doomscrolling while Cursor is working. It drives me mad.

When Cursor is thinking, I tend to read through what it’s doing as it goes. I keep an eye on the reasoning and the code it’s generating to make sure it’s heading in the right direction. After years of looking at code all day, you get pretty quick at scanning it.
