When using a coding agent like Claude Code, you may see a warning such as "Context left until auto-compact: 8%" at the bottom of the screen. Chat-based AI does not usually show this. Yet surprisingly few people can explain why the number decreases or what happens when it reaches zero…
Read articleIn Part 1, we saw why the context window is finite. But looking at today's model specs raises a question: models with 1 million tokens already exist, so why not just feed in the entire codebase or document? Is there any point in being careful?
Read articleThe previous two posts completed the diagnosis. The context window is finite (Part 1), and filling it does not mean everything is used; performance actually declines as it grows (Part 2). The prescription is clear: manage context. Coding agents, including Claude Code, provide /clear and /compact for this purpose…
Read articleDeveloping by pressing Accept All without reading AI-generated code is what we now call “vibe coding.” It gets you started astonishingly fast, and many say it is hard to go back once you try it. Still, know in advance where and how the cost of not reading code will come due.
Read articleIn my previous comparison of six macOS terminals, I said I would introduce a separate terminal for the age of AI agents. This is that follow-up.
Read articleThere are more ways than ever to extend AI coding tools: connect tools with MCP, register procedures with Skills, and delegate work to subagents.
Read articleWhen using Claude Code in a project, two needs arise: “Always follow this rule” and “Remember what we discovered last time.”
Read articleThis is probably the question that comes up most often in developer communities these days: "Which one should I actually use—Claude Code, Cursor, or Copilot?"
