<div dir="auto">Personally, I save the image and keep using the same image for weeks or even months. I also save the changes to my packages regularity and commit to GitHub. The longer I keep working on an old image, tho, changes to the new image accumulate and sometimes that makes a bit more complex the process of installing my packages in a new image (sometimes this requires making changes in my packages, for example if some method was renamed or removed). Regardless of how often you save your image, the key point is that your projects should be packages, not customized images.</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, 1 Aug 2023 at 17:02 Dr. Nicola Mingotti via Cuis-dev <<a href="mailto:cuis-dev@lists.cuis.st">cuis-dev@lists.cuis.st</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204)">

One face of the story is this. If you restart the image from a
known state is like the image everybody else is using. It is
easier to compare results with others, you just say "i m using
image version XX.XXX", do you observe the same I do ? <br>
<br>
If you keep working for 2 weeks on one image then then the changes
you may have done can be substantial. Also, Cuis LET YOU CHANGE
the system ! You CAN CHANGE the definition of "=" between
strings/doubles etc. So, well, your Cuis will be your Cuis and
equal to nobody else Cuis ;)<br>
<br>
There are other nasty reasons, like, you are human, you will
forget the details of what you have done 4-5 days ago. The
computer does not forget. If you save the image, you can shut down
the machine, but Cuis will not forget ! <br>
<br>
HTH, have fun ! <br>

<div>I just finished reading The Cuis Book and I'm curious about
the not to save the image recommendation of the Daily Workflow
chapter. What is the rationale behind it? Maybe a short
explanation would be a worthy addition to the book. <br>

<div>This is my fourth try to conquer a Smalltalk dialect as a
non-programmer by trade and Cuis looks like the most promising
candidate from the complexity standpoint. Thank you for the
community's hard work!<br>
