 &lt;div id="the-context-window" class="anchor"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
 
 &lt;span
 class="absolute top-0 w-6 transition-opacity opacity-0 -start-6 not-prose group-hover:opacity-100 select-none"&gt;
 &lt;a class="text-primary-300 dark:text-neutral-700 !no-underline" href="#the-context-window" aria-label="Anchor"&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;
 &lt;/span&gt;
 
&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The name comes from a technical concept. In AI, the context window is the boundary of what a model can hold in mind at once. Everything it can see, reason about, and respond to. Outside the window, nothing exists. Inside, everything does.
I liked the metaphor too much to leave it to the engineers. They have enough nice things.&lt;/p&gt;</description><media:content xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="/posts/post-lite-four/cover.png"/></item><item><title>About Me</title><link>/posts/post-lite-three/</link><pubDate>Tue, 23 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><author>- (Nick Foster)</author><guid>/posts/post-lite-three/</guid><description>&lt;h2 class="relative group"&gt;About Me

 &lt;/span&gt;
 
&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I came to technology sideways, through music, art, and a persistent need to understand how things work under the hood.
For years I worked as a software engineer and systems administrator. I got good at the craft. But what kept pulling me forward wasn&amp;rsquo;t the code itself. It was the moment when a system starts to feel alive. When the machine stops being a tool and becomes something closer to a collaborator.&lt;/p&gt;</description><media:content xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="/posts/post-lite-three/cover.png"/></item></channel></rss>
