I'm hitting a wall.

Yesterday, I spent 15 minutes arguing with an AI agent that insisted my error handling logic was "redundant." It wasn't. It was catching a specific edge case the AI didn't have context for.

I love the speed, but the noise is killing me. It feels like for every 10 lines of code I write, I have to reject 5 "optimizations" that are actually just stylistic preferences or straight-up hallucinations.

It’s not just the hallucinations. It’s the confidence. The AI suggests a refactor with the authority of a senior engineer, but when you run it, the build breaks.

I'm curious—what's the most confident but wrong suggestion an AI has thrown at you recently?

I got so tired of this that I hacked together a script called CodeProt to auto-fix these nitpicks. It's still a WIP but saves me hours.
