Read Original

The article discusses the challenge of using Large Language Models (LLMs) on growing codebases due to context window limits. It draws parallels to human cognitive limits and proposes that architectural principles from the book 'Code That Fits in Your Head', such as fractal design, could be beneficial for making code more AI-friendly and manageable.
