Experience doesn’t leave me with any confidence that the long term memory will be useful for long. Our agentic code bases are a few months old, wait a few years for those comments to get out of date and then see how much it helps.

The great thing about agentic coding is you can define one whose entire role is to read a diff, look in contextual files for comments, and verify whether they’re still accurate.

You don’t have to rely on humans doing it. The agent’s entire existence is built around doing this one mundane task that is annoying but super useful.
