This has been my experience with replit as well. It needs to use design docs as the source of task and truth, as it starts to crumble as the app size increases.

With OpenAI I find ChatGPT just slows to a crawl and the chat becomes unresponsive. Asking it to make a document, to import into a new chat, helps with that.

On a human level, it makes me think that we should do the same ourselves. Reflect, document and dump our ‘memory’ into a working design doc. To free up ourselves, as well as our LLMs.
