If there's one universal experience with AI-powered code development tools, it's how they feel like magic until they don't. One moment, you're watching an AI agent slurp up your codebase and deliver a remarkably sharp analysis of its architecture and design choices. And the next, it's spamming the console with "CoreCoreCoreCore" until the scroll-back buffer fills up and you've run out of tokens.
