Mostly agreed with just in time learning. This is not just something that can be learned from the code though, this may require a huge amount of code context across multiple repositories and configuration files, as well as a knowledge of history, process, other tribal knowledge etc. So to me that's still the really difficult part of the job and AI definitely helps but doesn't entirely solve this. I see it often wants to solve some issue at not quite the level of depth or high level understand that you would want.

agreed, that's the hard part. AI helps but doesn't make it disappear. I think that history, config, tribal knowledge etc is part of the map, and you need that map to guide you when you need to dive in because your agents did something at the wrong level
