I've been pair-programming with Claude since day one — long before Claude Code existed, before MCP existed, back when "AI coding assistant" still meant tab-completion. The setup got unreasonably good. Then I noticed I kept re-explaining the same things.
Me, Tuesday: "We picked Postgres for this project, not MongoDB. Use JSONB for the metadata column."
Me, Friday: "We picked Postgres for this project, not MongoDB. Use JSONB for the metadata column."
Me, Monday: "Wait, why did you suggest MongoDB?"
The agent is brilliant in any single session. Across sessions it has the memory of a goldfish. Every conversation starts from scratch. Every decision I thought we'd settled has to be re-litigated.
