Programmer from DOS times here. I've ingrained pressing CTRL + S every few seconds as a reflex. That has saved my bacon more than a few times.
There's an option now in vscode to autosave every few seconds.
If you can't remember what you wrote a 'few seconds' ago then you have more problems than having to work in vscode!

It's called aging. Just wait until the first time you head back down the hall from the living room to the bedroom to get the thing you forgot to bring with you, get distracted for a moment by a pet or family member, and then can't remember if you were going down the hall to the bedroom or the living room.
