Generative AI AI Tools

As developers, we often talk about AI making mistakes. Wrong functions. Broken logic. Hallucinated APIs. But honestly? Those aren’t the most annoying problems. The most annoying problem is having to repeat yourself. Again. And again. You explain your project. The architecture. The folder structure. The current task. The previous decisions. Then the next day, you start over. For small experiments, that’s fine. For real projects, it’s frustrating. AI can generate code quickly. But software development isn’t just code generation. It’s a process. A long-running process. Projects evolve.
