I get this as well, to the point where I created a specific project for brainstorming without code — asking for concepts, patterns, architectural ideas without any code samples. One issue I find is that sometimes I get better answers without using projects, but I’m not sure if that’s everyone experience.
That's been my experience as well with projects, though I have yet to do any sort of A/B testing to see if it's all in my head or not.
I've attributed it to all your project content (custom instruction, plus documents) getting thrown into context before your prompt. And honestly, I have yet to work with any model where the quality of the answer wasn't inversely proportional to the length of context (beyond of course supplying good instruction and documentation where needed).
