Hits the nail on the head. For an actual junior developer, they'd at least learn over time. With LLM, open up a new chat and you start with a new hire.

Most coding tools have rules or plan files that help provide context across chats.

I spend most of my time editing these files. It's as if I am training a junior dev.
