i spent 3 months building the most optimized claude code setup possible
it was running worse than day one
23 plugins, 8 skills, 5 MCP servers, 3 custom frameworks, a context tool i found on twitter at 2am
every session opened with 40% of context window already burned
hitting limits before i typed a real prompt
deleted almost everything. kept 2
first session after the purge felt like switching to a better model
didn’t switch models
just stopped suffocating it with “improvements”
your context window isn’t full because of your work
it’s full because of everything you added to help with the work
Bookmark it or continue using LLM like normie
the best setup is almost nothing
