Jason AllumGUEST
it's a hot you're gonna get a hot mess and for the reason stated you're gonna fill up the context the context is gonna get a little wonky it's gonna lose track of what it's doing and it's gonna be like and it's gonna wander off into the woods you know and do something weird you'll get a bunch of code when you're done but who knows what you get right yeah so so again you can use tools like this to help keep the agent on the rails so one way would be to say okay I want to go through every single one of these files.

Jason AllumGUEST
I want to take all the leaf functions, all the functions that do nothing but call the standard library.

Jason AllumGUEST
For each module, I want to go find all these functions and I want to add types.

Jason AllumGUEST
That's the easiest ones because now we can see this is a function, it doesn't call anything else but the system.
