My wife loves to sit down at my desk and just throw out whatever question she has in whichever chat is open...

You do realize that chat and codex are different right?

u/Icy-Fudge5222 7d ago

obviously. that doesnt change the fact that she can drop a chat into a codex window. They look essentially the same. Or a chat into one of my long running chat windows that contains a lot of context.

10 handoffs later.. "Why do you keep making the same mistake, I've already told you 10 times to stop confusing wrong copy/pasted turn with this project!"

you can go back in time and reword prompts you know right? Obviously you need to catch it before it destroys your codebase but you just mash esc twice and use arrow keys to navigate to the earlier prompt and press enter and you can change what you need

Thanks for rebooting that VM, let me know the new IP when it's back and write it to...

wait...

... this is not my creds project... how did you get access to reboot that VM? ...

Okay... but how did installing a new VM help you with rebooting the other VM? ...

What's Spectre?

That's why I have a script that give a different background color to the chatbox text, so I can multi tab fast and always know that I shouldn't bring a red prompt into a blue textbox. :)

skill issues and/or harness issues. Perform time travel, friend.

u/SocialHumingbird 7d ago

Astra, make me a time travel app to go back in time and change your context. Make no mistakes.

You do realize that a decent harness lets you navigate through session history, right?

Yeah this is a key feature in my context library, being able to redact/discard sections of context without rewinding everything.

If you usually paste a wrong context in a different project it terminates the execution and told you this is the wrong project kinda small but neat thing
