Fresh workspace per coding-agent task: which caches do you keep?
ZinchaDEV · reddit · 2026-10-26
A Reddit discussion on coding-agent workspace hygiene: clean checkouts per task burn time reinstalling dependencies, while full reuse risks contamination from earlier tasks' generated files and local configs. The author asks where practitioners draw the line — which caches (package downloads, compiler output) to keep, what triggers invalidation, and whether setup time, validation time, or clean-run-only failures mattered most in real comparisons.
