Context Switching Is the Real Developer Killer

Developers lose more time to context switching than bad tools or meetings. Every tab reopened, every script rerun, breaks flow and drains focus. Most tools only scratch the surface — they don’t truly preserve context. Codestate is built to protect your workflow and let you pick up exactly where you left off.
