You mean… it’s almost exactly like working with interns and jr developers? ;)

Yeah, it's like an idiot savant intern who has memorized all the API docs in the world, but still somehow struggles to work independently.
And never remembers what we talked about 5 minutes ago on a different thread.
This is where something like Perplexity's "memory" feature is really great. It treats other threads similarly to web resources.

I would love to understand better just how Perplexity is able to integrate up-to-date sources like other theads (and presumably recent web searches, but I haven't verified this, they could be just from the latest model) into it's query responses. It feels seamless.
