I've been testing Grok for a few days, and it feels like a major step backward. It randomly deleted some of my code - something I haven't had happen in a long time.

While the top coding models have become much more trustworthy lately, Grok isn't there yet. It doesn't matter if it's fast and/or free; if you can't trust a tool with your code, you can't use it.

Why is deleting code a big problem? You have version control, right?

Deleting extra code is easier than verifying deleted lines and restoring the ones that seem like an accident. It's just annoying.

It's the X/DOGE philosophy -- cut things out, and when the smoke starts spewing, try to work out which of the many things you cut were necessary.
