I’m Yang Qing, an architect with 10 years of big tech experience turned solopreneur. I deconstruct business from a technical perspective to help you avoid common pitfalls.
The content I share covers: boosting efficiency with AI tools, taking independent products global, and solopreneurship methodologies.
A high-voted post on Hacker News reveals a brutal truth:
“Absolute context is non-negotiable. You must provide 99% of relevant code in context. If you miss even a tiny bit, the model doesn’t know the boundaries, and it will fill the blank with hallucinations. This is a major source of errors.”
“Every AI coding tool has search problems. Claude uses grep. Cursor does basic vector search. Context retrieval? Honestly, very mediocre… AI tools lack true semantic code understanding.”
Context retrieval is mediocre at best.
Think about it, how ironic this is.
The core capability of AI coding tools is “understanding code,” but their context retrieval capability is “very mediocre.”
The result:
You ask it a question about project architecture, and it gives you a wrong answer.
Not because it’s not smart, but because it never saw the relevant code.
“When using Cursor, asking general questions - like ‘where does the code do X’ or ‘how should I implement Y’ - it frequently hallucinates or gives me wrong answers.”
Frequent hallucinations, wrong answers.
You think AI is helping you?
Actually, AI is “guessing.”
And the cost of guessing wrong is the time you spend verifying, debugging, and correcting.
