You start a conversation with Claude, it's sharp, nailing your requests. Twenty minutes in, something shifts. It forgets things you told it, gives you generic answers, contradicts itself.
Most people think Claude is broken. It's not. It's the context window. And if you don't understand how to manage it, you're paying more and getting worse results at the same time.
