watching terminal coding agents grep a 500k-line repo feels like a 30-year technological regression, isn't it?

to start with, software engineering spent the last thirty years building compilers, language servers, and IDE indexers that resolve type hierarchies, overloaded methods, and cross-package call graphs in milliseconds. now we give a terminal AI coding agent bash access on a 500,000-line repository, and it spends ten minutes running ripgrep loops across the entire directory tree, likemissing overloaded methods in test fixtures, confusing shadowed variables, and burning 50,000 input tokens just trying to find which interface implemented a method. and If you are working on a self-contained Python…
