The best businesses are built at the intersection of emerging technology, community, and real human needs.
“For each new task to get the best quality out of working with the model, start new chats for each thing”
What It Means
AI model performance is optimized when conversations are task-specific rather than continuous, preventing context dilution
Why It Matters
Fundamental workflow principle that significantly impacts code quality and development efficiency when using AI agents
When It's True
When working with current generation AI models that have attention and context window limitations
When It's Risky
When tasks are highly interdependent and losing conversation history creates more problems than context dilution
How to Apply
Create separate conversation for each feature or bug fix
Monitor context window usage and reset before 80% capacity
Explicitly tag relevant files for new conversation context
Treat each conversation like briefing a fresh consultant
Example Scenario
“Developer needs to add user authentication, fix CSS layout, and update API documentation. Instead of one long conversation covering all three, they create three focused chats, each with relevant context files, resulting in higher quality outputs for each task.”
