Context engineering is what makes AI magical | Boris Tane

What's context engineering and why you should spend more time on it.

Tough to take away anything valuable when there's no empiricism or examples in any of this. Sure as an initiated person I can glean the implication here, but how am I supposed to recommend anyone on my team actually read this article if there's no actual performance engineering in your article lol?

1. I am not a vibe coder
2. I am producing fairly complex programs that I would never have taken the time to write if AI had not come along at this time
3. I cannot provide the empiricism or examples but there will be a glut of information on this in the future.
4. I've been using a variety of AI models on a daily basis since ChatGPT was released and when you use them daily you start getting sense of how to get the most out of the models. You anticipate hallucinations and work to prevent them. 1M or 4M context windows are meaningless when the models get lost < 250k tokens.
5. If you understand the importance of prompt engineering then you can extrapolate from that the importance of managing the context window. The prompt is the setup. That sets up the landscape the marble is going to roll downhill from. Managing the context window is reshaping the landscape to keep the marble rolling down towards the spot you are aiming for.

I think that's a great and actionable insight, thank you for sharing.

I look at context a little differently such that given a particular condition or desired outcome, how can I use a structured naming convention that would not only provide context in the way your describing, but also provide enough detail to understand the relationships between components as well as how those components share relationships.

This is well-written. Clear and brief. Thanks
