My blood pressure rises everytime i use Enterprise Copilot at work. It seems they truncate message history heavily (to save input token costs?) and Copilot forgets the last thing you told it in the chat. It is like a real-life version of Momento (<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0209144/" rel="nofollow">https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0209144/) mixed with Waiting for Gadot (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waiting_for_Godot" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waiting_for_Godot), pretending to be in league with Anthropic.

  Off-topic but I find it amusing that you managed to misspell both movie titles :)

    Similarly to categorize Beckett as a movie.

    Indeed they don’t move very much in Godot. More like a standie-sittie than a movie.

    Fair point, that happens when i'm trying to be on MS Teams for a conf call, while watching my claude code terminal and then browsing HN on another monitor :-/

    Sounds like most of us. Are we destroying our brains attention centers? Or working out our context switching?

    Maybe one problem is the time between prompts, much like going to get a coffee when you start a big build, now it's filling time between prompts (plus the build), which can be any number of distracting rabbit holes (the internet is a big place) the split context feels exhausting to me.

    No, we're creating value for the shareholders.
