Agree. For what it’s worth, in interviews Cherny (Claude Code creator) and Steinberger (OpenClaw creator) say they keep things simple and use none of the workflow frameworks. The latter even said he doesn’t even use plan mode, but I find that very useful: exiting plan mode starts clean with compressed context.
They backed out the “clear context and execute plan” thing recently. It’s a bummer, I thought it was great.
Maybe they figured it wasn't need with 1M context?
Anecdotal evidence says that the 1M context one still gets stupid around 200-300k tokens.
Context still matters and I'll never stop implementing things in small slices instead of trying to one-shot.
