I'm working through a data structures course and use Claude regularly when I get stuck. It helps, but there's a pattern I keep hitting. Every new conversation I have to re-explain what language I'm using, what the assignment is, what I've tried, where I got stuck. Even if I was just in another tab two minutes ago. The AI has no idea what I was looking at before I opened the chat. The actual question is usually short. ""Why isn't this sorting correctly?"" But the lead-up takes a while. And I've noticed I do it even when the answer ends up being obvious, I still had to set the whole scene first. I don't think this is a problem with the AI. I think it's a problem with the interface. The blank chat box doesn't know anything about where I've been. Do other people learning to code feel this, or is there a workflow that skips the setup step I haven't found yet? submitted by /u/Relative-Coach-501 [link] [comments]
