> no hunting through files, etc.
It’s easy to switch to files by name with a few keystrokes. Files are names to group things I’m looking for.
I would much rather do that than try to search through a 7,000 line file for what I need.

Massive files or too many files break AI models. Grouping functionality into smaller files and including only relevant files is key. The file and folder names can be hints about where to find the right files to include.

I mean I'm not arguing for it as a best practice. I did it as an experiment (as I stated), and discovered it's actually really easy, and snappy for me to navigate in Vim. Mileage may vary with other editors. Have you tried it?

It's growing faster than I code! With the latest Gemeni at least it's much larger at 1-2 mil tokens. I'm sure we'll hit a ceiling though, but I also think we may find some context caching / rag type optimizations eventually.
