    "text": "But the way that I see it is they're just the engine. If you give the engine the wrong fuel, which is context, they're not going to perform. So and you can't do anything on the LLMs, at least not me, right? I'm just using the coding agent, I'm using whatever they give me. But I can optimize my context. And that's I think the message, doing this more in an engineered way than just copy and … things and hoping for the best.",
