Before you connect a folder, ask what's in it.

Zach Hussion put it plainly, pointing back to UNBOUND: "Bad context is a lot worse than no context." "Good context is what we're looking for," and over the years a lot has piled up in those folders.

Here's the part to remember: "AI doesn't really care if it was an old file from six years ago that's still sitting in there and not relevant anymore. It's now part of the context line."

Zach's advice: "keep in mind when you connect it."
