To solve this, the developer created Contorium, a tool designed to help AI maintain awareness of a project's history and ongoing tasks. The goal is to provide continuity for developers, particularly beginners, so they can move forward without constantly reminding the AI of what has already been done.", "body_md": "As developers, we often talk about AI making mistakes.\n\nWrong functions.\n\nBroken logic.\n\nHallucinated APIs.\n\nBut honestly?\n\nThose aren’t the most annoying problems.\n\nThe most annoying problem is having to repeat yourself.\n\nAgain.\n\nAnd again.\n\nAnd again.\n\nYou explain your project.\n\nThe architecture.\n\nThe folder structure.\n\nThe current task.\n\nThe previous decisions.\n\nThen the next day, you start over.\n\nFor small experiments, that’s fine.\n\nFor real projects, it’s frustrating.\n\nAI can generate code quickly.\n\nBut software development isn’t just code generation.\n\nIt’s a process.\n\nA long-running process.\n\nProjects evolve.\n\nRequirements change.\n\nTasks build on top of previous tasks.\n\nDevelopers remember these things naturally.\n\nAI usually doesn’t.\n\nThat’s why I started working on Contorium.\n\nThe idea is simple:\n\nHelp AI maintain awareness of what has already happened inside a project.\n\nNot because developers need more code generation.\n\nBut because developers need continuity.\n\nEspecially beginners.\n\nWhen you’re learning, context matters.\n\nYou don’t want to spend half your time reminding an AI what you’re working on.\n\nYou want to keep moving forward.\n\nThat’s the problem I’m trying to solve.\n\nNot making AI write more code.\n\nMaking AI stop forgetting.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/the-most-annoying-part-of-ai-coding-isnt-bad-code", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/evanlin2026/the-most-annoying-part-of-ai-coding-isnt-bad-code-38cb", "published_at": "2026-05-30 11:45:03+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-05-30 12:12:35.775484+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-tools", "ai-products", "ai-startups", "large-language-models"], "entities": ["Contorium"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/the-most-annoying-part-of-ai-coding-isnt-bad-code", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/the-most-annoying-part-of-ai-coding-isnt-bad-code.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/the-most-annoying-part-of-ai-coding-isnt-bad-code.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/the-most-annoying-part-of-ai-coding-isnt-bad-code.jsonld"}}
