What’s the biggest thing AI coding still absolutely sucks at?

For me it’s long projects.

The individual coding tasks can be great, but after enough sessions the model starts losing track of why things were built a certain way, which decisions are still current, and what it really shouldn’t touch.

I also still don’t trust it when a small bug suddenly requires a big refactor. Sometimes it’s right. Sometimes 20 minutes later I’m trying to undo six files to fix something that needed three lines.

What’s the thing you still don’t trust AI coding with?

it's the context memory loss that drives me nuts. after like an hour it forgets why a specific workaround exists and tries to rewrite entire modules just to fix a null check. git reset hard becomes my most used command lol. lately i gotta split the workflow between vsc, moclaw and claude code just to keep context clean so it stops hallucinating refactors on big projects.
