Backups Gone - Frustrated!

Discussion
1

March 10th, I had my project completed, minus a login screen. During this home-stretch I kept saving after every micro change.
March 11th, I woke up and tried to add a Login Screen. My LLM suddenly was acting like a clown. I realized what was happening and decided to roll back to my last version.

ALL MY BACKUPS FROM MARCH 10th WERE GONE!!!

This is super sus!
This left me having to rework a lot of my project all over again. It’s been 2 months. I have nothing to show for in all my efforts with Cursor.

The latest version (MAC) has been much better, but everytime I’m close I get “Clapped” … I’m left with an end of the day LLM that can barely make HTML changes.

I’m so feeling frustrated. When will they have LLMs that we can depend on for a whole 8 hours?

Use GIT to commit changes and to rollback, also remember overwhelming the model with context makes it less reliable, keep your code files small refactoring them from time to time and summarize your chats with a good model to keep details when creating a new chat.
