>> You don't need documentation or the 3rd party memory systems. The code IS the documentation.

We have heard this nonsense from the "we don't need to write comments, code should be self-documenting" types for decades. It was wrong in that context, and it is wrong in this one.

Code tells you how a system works. It does not tell you why it works that way. That is what memory is for. It exists so that your AI does not keep undoing past decisions when it writes or refactors code.
