Indie Dev Insights: The Fatal Flaw of LLMs in Knowledge Management
StewartalsopIII · x · 2026-08-12
An indie AI consultant shared practical observations from providing web design services for enterprises. He found that, as a solo developer, he quickly hit the same knowledge management walls previously faced by 2000-person companies.
- Version Explosion: Using LLMs, he can quickly generate 6 website variations during client meetings, but after 5 rounds, he ended up with 50+ links, creating massive chaos.
- Capability Shortcomings: LLMs are horrible at certain forms of knowledge management, particularly keeping track of entities and commanding space-time.
- Workflow Challenges: For instance, a working link matching the spec perfectly couldn't be found during a Monday call, only to be regenerated days later. This lack of state tracking is a core challenge for current AI workflows.
