What if an AI coding agent could remember not just what worked, but exactly why its previous solution failed — and prove that the next one was better?
The Problem: AI Can Solve a Bug Today and Repeat It Tomorrow
There is something frustrating about working with AI coding assistants. They can help you debug a complicated issue, explain the root cause, and even suggest a fix that works. Yet, a few tasks later, they might recommend the same approach that caused the problem in the first place.
Imagine this.
You ask an AI assistant to introduce a unique constraint into a PostgreSQL database. It proposes a migration that works in a development environment but causes problems under production traffic. The migration cannot acquire the required lock, and the deployment runs into trouble.
You investigate, identify a safer approach, test it, and move on.
A few tasks later, you ask the same assistant to make a similar change to another table.
It suggests the same problematic app
