    Spent a full week trying to get Claude/Cursor to unfuck my router after I asked it to help me set up some isolated subnets via SSH. It really struggled with retaining “object permanence”, or remembering instructions. I had to nuke it and start from scratch…twice.

      Yeah, get too far in or give it too much to start with, it can’t handle it. You can see this with visual generators. “Where’s the lollypop in its hand? Try again… Okay now you forgot about the top hat.”

      Have to treat them like simple interns that will do anything to please rather than admit the task is too complex or they’ve forgotten what they were meant to do.

        Who says you can only have just one on one project? Itemize your tasks in a focused list and divvy up the task to delegates and you can keep the tasks simple enough and coordinate multiple agents on a single Advanced project that one conscience or entity wouldn’t be able to do alone. Fluffy ways of referring to tokens AI llm all that
