Lately, I lean towards keeping a vanilla setup until I’m convinced the new thing will last beyond being a fad (and not subsumed by AI lab) or beyond being just for niche use cases.
For example, I still have never used worktrees and I barely use MCPs. But, skills, I love.
But, a common failure mode for those that are new to using LLMs, or use it very infrequently, is that they will try to salvage this conversation and continue it.
What they don’t understand is that this exchange has permanently rotted the context and will rear its head in ugly ways the longer the conversation goes.
“Should I eliminate the target?”
“no”
“Got it! Taking aim and firing now.”
There’s something about seeing it as chat messages that makes it feel more tangible.
I’m glad there was closure to this whole fiasco in the end
“If I say something that someone doesn’t like, then they are justified in killing me.”
And accept it.
Good times.
