AI Agents Are Senior Engineers With Root Access and a Goldfish Memory
HaktanSuren · x · 2026-08-11
A developer humorously points out the context memory flaws of AI coding agents. Initially, the agent autonomously opened a browser, tested an app, took screenshots, and uploaded them to GitHub.
However, 3 hours later in the same session, when asked to upload another screenshot, the agent completely forgot its previous actions, claiming it couldn't upload images. The developer jokes that AI agents are like 'senior engineers with root access and the memory of a goldfish.'
