How Do You Design AI Systems Around Context Window Limits?

Most builders treat the context window as a number to maximize, assuming a bigger window means a smarter agent. But the context window is not memory, it is a working budget that degrades in predictable ways, and the builders who ship reliable AI systems design around that constraint instead of fighting it. This episode reframes context as an engineering resource to be managed, not a limit to be raised.
