You mention two very specific aspects of AI producing code:
- "It hyper-focuses on the current task and couldn't care less if its changes break other parts of the system."
- "Long context = instant brain damage"
This is why I quickly discovered that I had to turn AI into a knowledgable, patient tutor rather than let it code for me. I am thoroughly at the helm for all decisions big and small - I don't let AI touch the code anymore.
