Re:Claude Sonnet 4 now supports 1M tokens of context

1M tokens is impressive, but the real gains will come from how we curate context—compact summaries, per-repo indexes, and phase resets. Bigger windows help; guardrails keep models focused and costs predictable.
Re:Did GitHub Copilot increase my productivity?

I guess it does when you use it parsimoniously.
Copilot helps me a lot when I have to write repetitive code, or when I have to change code slightly the same way in a lot of lines.
I never add large amounts of code at one go though, I think it would certainly add subtle bugs then.

"From a practical standpoint, our research suggests that, when faced with long tasks (such as studying before a final exam or doing your taxes), it is best to impose brief breaks on yourself. Brief mental breaks will actually help you stay focused on your task!”

In the contact page there's the following:

That seems very unusual for anyone to say. If the blog was not set up by _why, it is set up by someone trying to deceive everybody. Moreover all the mysterious domain and bizarre content and language could be _why trying to do exactly this.
