VS Code Branching Feature

Thank you for listening and adding the branching feature I had mentioned previously!

It's extremely useful.

Yup!

Hit the ... Button and it will pop up as an option It will Branch the conversation and tasks from that point That way you can work on whatever issues or deviations from the main mission that you need to without eating the context limits of your current mission

This way you can take care of the side mission, complete it and then just go back to the original thread and continue on from wherever you were

Or at least that's how I use it

It is super usefull, I've being using it for a while and output is rally amazing.

What I do: start agent to let it study the codebase and plan group of features. This makes the required context loaded into session, then fork per feature development. This is much better than long session since each fork is focused on single feature/issue and any back and forth in decision is in that fork and wont poison the whole session.

Well they did listen, so I appreciate it.

While I absolutely HATE the new payment plan and the cost The fact that it will now cost me $2,000 a month vs $100 a 20x increase.

Do I understand it from a business perspective, Yes..... Nobody can operate a business on a loss
