AI didn't remove complexity from software development. It moved it. Before AI, if you wanted to build something, you had to study the topic first. You had to understand the domain, the constraints, the architecture, and only then slowly turn that understanding into code.

We already have memory for AI coding agents. It’s called git. And many teams are filling it with garbage: fix bug update styles refactor component
