Here are some common pain points of AI Coding currently:

  • The UI is still too poor. Even with external tools like Figma, it's very difficult to achieve satisfactory results.
  • The subagent mode of AI Coding has some issues when multiple windows are open.
  • The process of AI Coding is extremely boring, with a strong sense of participation only at the initial stage.
  • Prototype - level code can be generated very quickly, but to make it more presentable, a significant amount of effort is required for fine - tuning.
  • The system becomes laggy after multiple rounds of conversation.
  • There is an overabundance of comments and intermediate documents.
  • Once the overall code structure is stable, making even a minor bug fix or enhancing a feature can lead to very drastic and extensive global refactoring (disastrous - level). It's not just Claude that faces these issues. We also look forward to other AI Coding tools or models considering the numerous detailed problems in the process of AI Coding from 1 to 100 and making targeted improvements.
