Cannot find answer to the question from title in article. So what went wrong ?
Reads like they started experimenting with an AI-driven workflow. Got some prototypes and early progress fast. And now the first draft kinda works, but it breaks left and right and they're stuck in a loop to fix things, another thing breaks and they're not getting anywhere.
Difficult to say what went wrong judging by what they wrote. That kind of information is missing in their rant. Could be a wrong choice of AI model, Agent framework, wrong workflow... Or AI in general. I also tend to get caught up in loops, yelling at the AI for half a day to fix things, write more strict tests so it can see itself what went wrong, and fix whatever it just broke in the process. Or yell at it for giving up and refactoring the entire project because it can't figure out what went wrong and why.
Hahahaha
That's a pretty accurate description on most of the wrong parts :D
