Coders Blast Cline and Qwen VS Code Addon for Needlessly Invalidating 100k Context Cache
Academic-Tea6729 · reddit · 2026-09-16
A Reddit user complains that Cline and the Qwen coding addon for VS Code often invalidate the entire context cache — sometimes 100k tokens — for trivial requests like "update the md file", forcing 40-second waits and re-processing. Older versions of both tools avoided this. The poster asks whether any coding harness avoids wholesale cache invalidation on each prompt.
