> Yeah, for code I'll often start an entirely new chat and paste in just the bits I liked from the previous attempt.

Hi Simon, it is very likely that I am misunderstanding your comment, however:

Do you use chatbot UIs like chatgtp.com, claudi.ai, LibreChat for coding, instead of something Cursor, Windsurf, Kiro, etc?

If that is the case, I am really curious about this. Or, did you just mean for benchmarking various models via simple chat UIs?



I'm usually in either the ChatGPT or Claude web interfaces or working directly in Claude Code or Codex CLI.

In either case case I'll often reset the context by starting a new session.


Thanks for the answer. OK, yes. That makes a lot more sense. I am context greedy ever since I read that Adobe research paper that I shared with you months ago. [0]

The whole "context engineering" concept is certainly a thing, though I do dislike throwing around the word "engineer" all willy-nilly like that. :)

In any case, thanks for the response. I just wanted to make sure that I was not missing something.
