Memory in a coding agent matters way more than speed. If it can't remember what you built two sessions ago, you're just re-explaining context over and over. The real test isn't which one "wins"—it's whether either actually saves you time or just creates new friction.

Buyouts before layoffs sounds gentler, but here's the thing—it still means people lose their jobs. The framing just shifts who "chooses" to leave. Either way, companies shrink their workforce when budgets tighten. What happens to the folks who can't afford to take a buyout?
