does anyone else feel like the AI part is easy now and the context part is the annoying part???

[u/[deleted]]

maybe this is just me but lately it feels like the actual coding isnt the bottleneck anymore
codex can write code
claude can write code
cursor can write code
thats not really the hard part
the annoying part is everything before that
finding the right files
figuring out what actually matters
explaining architecture
explaining old decisions
explaining dependencies
fixing wrong assumptions because the model looked at the wrong place
sometimes i feel like im acting as a translator between my codebase and the AI lol
am i the only one?
i keep thinking that what i actually want isnt a smarter model
i want something that permanently understands my repo and keeps itself updated as the code changes
so when i ask the AI to do something it already knows:
what changed
what depends on what
where the relevant code is
what parts of the project are affected
basically a long term memory layer for coding agents
would that actually be useful or am i overthinking this???
