My job...is just...context window

All I think about is the context window

The context window is an array. We malloc it.

When I'm Ralphing, I'm mostly just...managing that array. This has meant I am more intentional about starting Claude sessions with a specific goal (and sometimes that goal is...wtf is going on, I need an entire session just to orient myself to latest changes). And then when the goal shifts, time for a fresh context window.

(btw see this podcast or google Geoffrey Huntley to hear him talk about all this)

The files I care about

(Caveat: not trying to pretend my practices are best practices, but this is what's evolved for me see https://github.com/ghuntley/how-to-ralph-wiggum)

^ the specs/ for a jpeg glitch art project.

Benefits to focusing on context window
