Using LLMs as an extra backup buffer sounds really neat.
But I was trained with editing files in telnet over shaky connections, before Vim had auto-backup. You learn to hit save very frequently. After 3 decades I still reflexively hit save when I don’t need to.
I don’t forget to stage/commit in git between my prompts.
The new checkpoint and rollback features seem neat for people who don’t have those already. But they’re standard tools.
