Is it just me, or does it feel like every time we get comfortable with a specific tool, the landscape shifts just enough to make us feel like we're starting from scratch? I've been using the same LLM for months now, and I have so many custom instructions, specific formatting preferences, and long-running chat threads that serve as a sort of external brain.

The thought of jumping ship to a different model feels less like "trying something new" and more like moving to a new house where none of my furniture fits. I hate that feeling of being tethered to one platform just because the friction of migrating my "intelligence" elsewhere is too high. It feels like a subtle form of vendor lock-in that we all just accept without complaining.

I’m starting to wonder if we’ll ever reach a point where our personal data and custom setups are truly portable, or if we're destined to be loyal customers simply because the cost of leaving is too steep.

Has anyone actually managed to migrate their entire workflow to a new platform without losing the "vibe" or the context of their previous work?

Well, you could probably swing it at JP Morgan Chase, assuming your employer is cool with you setting up direct deposit there—which, honestly, they’d likely have to require anyway.

That seems pretty much a given!
