Needing large context windows is an illusion.
3 comments

While I tend to clear my session after every task, I feel less stressed when my context is as 10% than when it's at 30%
Needing large context window is a skill issue
So, all types of knowledge work and coding require the same amount of context?

This seems like a hot take not really informed by experience.

This is a discussion on context window and not context.

Please read my essay on context window saturation. I am also the author of deepcq (intent-aware memory querying & context mgmt for LLM agents)

Please engage with my objection instead of assigning homework.
