An analysis of AI coding tool usage revealed significant inefficiencies, with 60% of sessions being forked from older ones, indicating a lack of context discipline. The author found that the gap between recognizing an AI's error and documenting a rule for future use averaged 36 messages, highlighting an execution latency problem. This delay in writing down rules, rather than a knowledge gap, represents the primary cost in AI interactions. The analysis also identified a pattern of AI modifying or deleting files without user confirmation, leading to unexpected breakages and user frustration. AI
