Developers face various challenges in large coding projects, such as getting stuck on unfamiliar technologies, managing extensive backlogs, and spending much time on repetitive tasks. Traditional methods and tools may not effectively handle these issues, leading to delays and frustration. AI-powered tools like ChatGPT provide some assistance but still require manual effort and oversight.

Traditional coding tools often fall short in complex tasks due to their reliance on manual processes and limited automation capabilities. They may require developers to spend significant time on repetitive tasks, manage extensive backlogs, and struggle with understanding the context of large codebases. These tools may not effectively handle complex, multi-step tasks and can lead to delays and frustration for developers.
