I'm not saying don't get into these.

I'm not saying don't read about them.

I'm not saying don't use them.

But I can almost guarantee you these things are not the reason why your product isn't working.

Right.

Most of the time, it's your plan sucks.

Right.

That's number two.

Number three, I would use Ralph

after i've built something without and the reason being is again listen if you are a baller shot caller and you have all the money to blow and you don't care and you want to donate money to anthropic go ahead and use ralph but if we were to sit here eye to eye and you haven't built anything deployed anything there isn't a url that i myself or greg can click on that you've built you have no business using ralph

you literally have no business using Ralph, I would first get good at prompting and building something using a plan, whether it's whatever AG1, cloud code, open code, whatever.

Once you have something deployed to Vercel or like there's a URL and we can use it, then you can use Ralph.

Number four, this is a little in the weeds, but context is more important than ever.

And a lot of times cloud code or even cursor will tell you what percent of context has been used.

I generally wouldn't go over 50%, meaning like the anthropic model Opus 4.5 has a 200,000 token context limit.

The moment, in my opinion, you've got over 100,000 tokens, meaning you're using the same session, it starts to sort of deteriorate.

That's when you have people, Greg, who say, oh, like I started off good, but it started going bad.

That's because you've filled it with so much context.

And the best way to think about this is like yourself, right?

Like, let's say we went to some English class and or some, you know, whatever class.
