So I can attest to the fact that all of the things proposed in this article actually works. And you can try it out yourself on any arbitrary code base within few minutes.

This is how: I work for a company called NonBioS.ai - we already implement most of what is mentioned in this article. Actually we implemented this about 6 months back and what we have now is an advanced version of the same flow. Every user in NonBioS gets a full linux VM with root access. You can ask nonbios to pull in your source code and ask it to implement any feature. The context is all managed automatically through a process we call "Strategic Forgetting" which is in someways an advanced version of the logic in this article.

Strategic Forgetting handles the context automatically - think of it like automatic compaction. It evaluates information retention based on several key factors:

1. Relevance Scoring: We assess how directly information contributes to the current objective vs. being tangential noise

2. Temporal Decay: Information gets weighted by recency and frequency of use - rarely accessed context naturally fades

3. Retrievability: If data can be easily reconstructed from system state or documentation, it's a candidate for pruning

4. Source Priority: User-provided context gets higher retention weight than inferred or generated content

The algorithm runs continuously during coding sessions, creating a dynamic "working memory" that stays lean and focused. Think of it like how you naturally filter out background conversations to focus on what matters.

And we have tried it out in very complex code bases and it works pretty well. Once you know how well it works, you will not have a hard time believing that the days of using IDE's to edit code is probably numbered.

Also - you can try it out for yourself very quickly at NonBioS.ai. We have a very generous free tier that will be enough for the biggest code base you can throw at nonbios. However, big feature implementations or larger refactorings might take time longer than what is afforded in the free tier.
