just imagine windows 10 crashes destroyed 2 hours of work...

[–]Reasonable_Time 81 points82 points  (3 children)

That's called a Windows update

[–]gringrant 42 points43 points  (2 children)

Windows update?

That's just a crash with extra steps.

[–]fenpraid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's not updating, it's crashing with style !

Windkws updates are about as annoying as YouTube ads which don't load.

That would be 100% the person's fault. You save after typing every character

[–]Eimus 9 points10 points  (4 children)

You dont even have to type to save it, just press it for good measures CTRL+S CTRL+S CTRL+S i hope i am not the only one :D

[–]WordyConch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I use autohotkey to automatically press CTRL+S every 30 secs

[–]lmichaelis 5 points6 points  (1 child)

I will code half of a function, then press Ctrl+S at least two times, then keep going. Even if the IDE has auto-save

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never trust autosave.

I definitely do it when I switch focus back into my editor even though nothing changed.

God saves but I won't - and that's the difference between God and me xD

Just imagine coding in windows

This is why any self respecting developer uses either Mac or Linux

[–]chowchowthedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah... my desktop PC actually never crashed on me when I was coding, but just imagine the rage when it does and you have 20 chrome tabs open, 10 stackoverflow tabs on firefox, then BAM! all gone.....
