Atelier-Fire&Forget

I can maybe focus on one or maybe two really complicated things at one time.

And, for instance here, when I'm working on the render code for my little game engine here, I can be very much in the zone.

But sometimes I'll notice something or I'll think about something and I don't want to forget it.

That's what we have Fire and Forget workflows for.

I can do command option quote.

And what it will do is it will bring up this global composer that lets me write a note, and forget about it.

I can say change the scorecard in the fighter game to be vertical.

After all, I hit command enter and it's gone.

And you'll notice that I'm still in my render code here.

Like, it was a very easy way to basically not forget about this one thing without me manually having to go make a workspace, wait for the agent to start, type this thing in, and then sort of like completely having broken my flow.

And I also really like that it means I can stop spending energy on having to not forget about this one thing, that I still wanted to fix my product.

Because as I do normal work, I focus on one thing, but I can easily notice like 12 different things that are broken as I work on it.

And it's just wonderful to be able to just dish those off one by one in a way that lets your mental bandwidth and focus stay where you are.

We have the same kind of setup, on the land prompt template.

If I go here, you can see that, I have this land prompt template here.

And what it does is it says commit and push your work, rebasing when necessary, and when successful, delete the workspace.

And I use this all the time.

And it's great because when the agents or myself show up with a set of changes that I'm happy with to land, I will fire this off and I can immediately forget about it, because I can totally trust that this will either work or it will come back to me with a problem.

But since I can trust that in both those situations everything's fine, I don't have to spend any mental bandwidth on it and I can continue to keep my focus where I want it, which is on the complicated parts of programming which turn out to still be actually complicated.
