We have Cursor, it’s a step back from using Claude + MCP and it hallucinates a lot because of poor context management. But that’s not the real reason I’m using LLM’s less than before.

* The codebase consists of many modules with their own repo each

* The test back end has a lot of gotchas, borked settings or broken ongoing work by the back-end team

* The code is incredibly layered

I’m spending up to 10% of my time writing actual code. The rest is overhead like multi-repo PR’s, debugging, talking to people etcetera.

Once I found the issue, the code is the easy part and explaining it all to the LLM is more work.

Assistive coding tools need to get a lot better
