Frontend fatigue and FOMO have pushed teams into resume-driven development, where stable projects get rewritten for every new build tool or framework. The antidote is restraint: saying no to anything that doesn't solve a P0 business problem, and backing that refusal with hard-edged fallback plans.

Tool search lets AI agents list hundreds of tools by name only, loading full schemas on demand to slash context-window usage from 64k tokens to under 5k.

LLM APIs are stateless; every request is independent. The illusion of a continuous conversation comes from the application layer re-sending the entire chat history in the `messages` array each time.
