> Sentences that orbit a point, then jump to it like it's a revealed insight.

That’s accurate in my experience, except some times the point isn’t even revealed. I use LLMs for a lot of codebase exploration where I ask it to map out how something works. It will come back with a wall of text that says everything except the specific key things that I need to know.

This leads to extra turns where I have to prompt it to finish the explanation and complete the thoughts. At first I thought I was doing too much skimming and missing the insights, but even after re-reading output it’s often just not there. It talks about the insight and things related to it, but it forgets to actually include it in the output until I specifically ask again.
