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.

when is "when you don't need to"? I map `:update` to a easiy to reach key so I do it reflexively after practically every few seconds
