Helped: Long context window in complex monorepo.
Got in the way: Frequent compaction in greenfield project.
… I canceled Claude for my personal account due to the Astra hype, but I'm back after a single month and the absolutely ridiculous context window is one of the many reasons. I barely compact at work in a very complex monorepo (neither with Fable 5.1 nor Opus 5.5), and yet in my personal greenfield project Astra keeps compacting all the time, to the point of it being unusable.
