This post is a mess. The best advice is clear and specific, and this is neither.

The examples are at best loosely related to the points they're supposed to illustrate.

It's honestly so bad that I cynically suspect that this post was created solely as a way to promote click3, in the first bullet, and then 4 more bullets were generated to make it a "whole" post

The five anti-patterns (or remedies, rather)-

  1. Don't re-send info you've already sent (be resourceful) 
  2. Play to model strengths (e.g. generating an image of text vs generating text in an image, or coding/executing a string counter rather than counting a search string)
  3. Stay aware of declining accuracy as context window fills up
  4. Don't ask for things it doesnt know (e.g. obscure topics or outside cutoff window)
  5. Careful with vibe coding

Yeah I was hoping for a lot more from the title.
