At least when you tell a human the indentation is wrong, they can fix it on the first try. Watched an AI agent last night try to fix indentation by using sed for 20 minutes before I just fixed it myself after cringing.
My guess is that context = main thing + somewhat unrelated thing is too big a space for the models to perform well at this point in time.
The practical solution is to remove the need for the model to figure it out each time and instead explicitly tell it about as much as possible before hand in CLAUDE.md.
Same here. It's either capable of working unsupervised or not. And if not, you have to start wondering what you're even doing if you're at your keyboard, running tools, editing code that you don't like, etc.
We're still working out the edge cases with these "Full" self driving editors. It vastly diminishes the usefulness if it's going to spend 20 minutes (and $) on stupid simple things.

Sure the air is 3 dimensions, but driving is too dynamic and volatile. Every single road is different, and you have to rely on heuristics meant for humans.
It's stupid easy for humans to tell what is a yellow line and what a stop sign looks like, but it's not so easy for computers. These are human tools - physical things we look at with our eyes. Not easy to measure. Whereas measurements in the air are quite easy to measure.
On top of the visual heuristics, everthing changes all the time and very fast. You look away from the road and look back and you don't know what you're gonna see. It's why texting and driving is so dangerous.
> I think automating driving is much harder than automating even air travel.
First, I want to summon my car. Then, when leaving, if I’m in a dense area with lots of shopping, the roads can be a pain. You have to exit right, immediately get into the left lane, three lanes over, the second of the right turn only lanes, etc
Even better if you use an LLM with Hook support, just have the hook run formatters on the file after each edit.
They take less than a second to run, can run on every save, and are free
