Bob TV Episode 2 Tokenmaxxing: How Much Context Does AI Coding Really Need?
·OnlineOnline1 attendee from 122 groups# Bob TV: Episode 2: Tokenmaxxing: How Much Context Does AI Coding Really Need?
## Tue, Oct 6, 2026 11:00 AM EDT (11:00 AM EDT) Add to calendar
Every prompt, file, and instruction adds context. More context can improve the result, but it also increases token use and may make relevant information harder to find. In this episode, Max and Markus discuss how developers learn with AI, what Bob shows about context use, and how to reduce token waste without weakening the result.
Key topics:
- How context size affects quality, cost, and retries
- What Bob shows about context and what developers should include
- Practical habits for scoping tasks, selecting relevant files, and starting fresh sessions
