“Cause again, you can't always assume the AI knows everything. And this is where I know we just jumped straight into bolt, but if I wanted to build an actual application, I would do research first on what I need, how it would work, how it works, what the setup looks like. But here we're just trying to have fun and show both. So I would have done enough research on file to know how it works, what's needed, what's not. And then with that information, I'd give it to the AI model, and it would probably not make the mistakes it makes now.”

Ross Mike: LLMs degrade in performance once context fills past 70-80%
“Cause the model will get dumb as the context window closes, right? So if you have like a context window and I can draw this out, if this is your context window and like the optimal is You're between, like, there's always, like, maybe, like, 10% is already fill…”
Ross Mike: LLM coding agent performance degrades above 50% context limit
“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 a 100,000 tokens, meaning you're using the same session. It starts to sort of deteriorate. That's when you…”
Ras Mike: Design and UX will become startups' primary competitive moat
“I think the moat for the next couple of years, cause, and I, I'm willing to argue this is design. Design and user experience becomes the moat. Cause at the end of the day, like if you can make the experience much richer, much better, and you can actually solve…”

“It just, it, we truly enter, like, the birth of, like, non-technical multi-million dollar founders with no tech founder, with no CTO or anything like that.”
