The article argues that AI coding agents work best when treated as context-blind collaborators, not as code-search tools.

Long sessions can degrade output, so resetting the conversation helps avoid context drift and wasted time.

The guidance aims to improve pair-programming workflows with tools like Express, Prisma, and Node.js.
