脳のバックグラウンドインデックスが冷えきった状態では修正は難しい

i switched back to writing code by hand in my hobby project for an interesting reason... it's really psychological but when the AI gets stuck (e.g. the problem is too tricky to debug without good tools and atm it requires a human, or something got too messy), i get a mental freeze digging into code

in a sense it's like i suddenly inherited a codebase and have to make a change in it. but even if i know my way around it, there were many small decisions that wouldn't quite match mine, and the feeling is uncanny enough that there's real mental resistance to tweaking it. i feel unusually lost

but to be clear, it wasn't that i didn't "understand" the code or anything. i understand it perfectly fine. but i guess that during normal development, there's a background index of the codebase being built in my brain. and trying to fix something with that index being cold is distinctly unpleasant

i'm not sure what to take away from that experience. i'm guessing that to be productive with AI, i have to keep a lot more "instructions" around than i do (i barely have any). and maybe "skills" so that i can rely on it more.but also it seems like i need some way to feel involved with the output?
