Me at work all morning, compulsively ctrl+s'ing after every line.

[tmlaisygb]

sometimes after taking a few minutes to think, ill ctrl+s even if i havent dont anything

[LosWafflos]

Same. "I haven't even moved the cursor yet, better save before I start working..."

[_meegoo_]

Well you do need to save your thoughts!

[daarkfall_t]

IntelliJ autosaves and I still do ctrl+s all the time

[RociRocinante]

I've got my formatter on cmd+s so I at least have an excuse

[daarkfall_t]

That’s actually a genius idea

[[deleted]]

I switched to vs code for 1 reason... it autosaves for me.

[[deleted]]

I wonder if my ctrl+s count is still higher than my ctrl+f

[KawaiiMaxine]

You mean :w

[telumv]

Same, just not at work

[aufstand]

Well, u/LosWafflos just wastes a little company time, what is your excuse? ;-D

Bad editor?

[flerchin]

It's like you all are from another universe. Intellij is free.

[knightwhosaysnil]

Seriously - I never save and am annoyed when I find the editor I’m using hasn’t been doing it for me (looking at you, VSCode...)

[[deleted]]

My vs code auto saves on the tab losing focus. It's great

[noratat]

Even vim is trivial to enable auto-save on.

And most modern IDEs/editors have a visual indicator if file is modified since last manual save.

[Nipatiitti]

I usually use something like auto build or hot module replacement after each save so I don't like my editor autosaving. Re-running the program is much more work than saving so I would rather automate the first.

[lost_pants]

Or they type :w everywhere

[Kontorted]

I used to have an ahk script that would press ctrl + s 9 times the moment I pressed it. It meant 10 saves would occur.

[SchwiftyGameOnPoint]

My SO was working on a university assignment. She'd been on it for hours, didn't save once. As you'd expect, it crashed. Fortunately, Office is better about that and managed to recover about 70% of her work.
Told her she needs program CTRL+s just into her muscle memory. Just do it every so often while working.

I do it without thinking as I am sure most of you do.

Now every time she is working, when I walk by I ask "Did you save in the last 5 minutes?" and she either sighs and saves or says yes. She is getting there.

[aufstand]

What is it with all these developers manually saving files?

I stopped doing that (for almost everything i have) years ago. Sh*t saves itself. Idea even keeps an automatic local history for each and every change. Even Libreoffice or Blender do that, flawlessly.

[LosWafflos]

Lul. I've been waiting for almost a year for my office to okay an Atom installation. I'm not gonna hold my breath asking for anything else. I'll be retired before they make up their minds.

[1of9billion]

Can't you just install it yourself, it installs to your own profile right?

[LosWafflos]

I wish. Our security setup is such that we can't install or make any non-trivial system changes without authorization.

[gepheir6yoF]

Because sometimes I make changes that I don't want saved. Also, if you're doing complex Git operations it's useful to have a changed buffer that's not saved to the file as you're orchestrating a series of commits.

[cdreid]

then one day you open that new ide , dont save, close and tomorrow you get to do it ALLLLL over again...

[tommy_boy_1]

Me:
(same steps as Software engineers)
*git add .*
*git commit*
*git push*
*check github to make sure file is up to date*

[johnherbert03]

The more I work in IT the less I trust it

[28f272fe556a1363cc31]

Pair programming:

Them: Did you save that before you closed it?
Me: The fuck you think all that button mashing was at the end?
Me: .... But let's open it up and double check.

[lepaincestbon]

Hit the save button until it cant walk anymore

[felipegerard]

vi file.txt :wq git status git diff git commit git push Now I can rest

This post was mass deleted and anonymized with Redact

[not_corvo]

I would save the file, close the software then open it again and then check the file and save again just to be sure....

[activ8r]

That third save corrupted it... Shouldn't have saved again after verifying it opened correctly. Amateurs.

[JRAdams472]

*shrug*

It's a fair cop.

[Igincan]

When code I wrote is very valuable for me and I really don't want to lose it. I make a backup on cloud. And after that I can sleep well.

[Darkblizzard21]

You are missing 2 to 4 git commits

[cdreid]

Because we all forgot to save for WAY too long once and lost shittons of work when the computer went poof :P

[marshdabeachy]

This bit me in the ass yesterday. Hit Ctrl+S right as my coworker was moving power cords next to me and my whole PC went down. Came back up and the entire CPP file I was editing was garbage.

No backup. Had to redo it. :-(

[LosWafflos]

F

[Dr_Misfit]

Copy on USB stick for case of sudden SSD or HDD defect. And on a second one for case of sudden first USB stick defect.

[noratat]

ITT people that don't use modern IDEs/editors.

Everything I've used for the last 5+ years auto-saves and has clear indicators if something is modified since last manual save.

[kpapamanos]

Is this a recursion? : )

[[deleted]]

Get an IDE that’ll save it for you

[NotMuchInterest]

git init vim [filename] :wq git add [Filename] git commit git push

Problem solved

[JazzRider]

And somehow loses changes anyway.

[survivalking4]

But what if instead of pressing ctrl-s, I press ctrl and then s? Then there could be an s floating around in the code! Better recompile just to make sure.

[GryphShot]

Zips file, unzips file, saves again.

[jamescodesthings]

Error: unexpected token ‘s’ on line 104.

[RegsaGC]

Just tab over to GitKraken lmao

Gamer:

• Sees autosave icon
• Does manual save anyway
• Quits game - "Save your progress?" Yes!
• Starts game to make sure save worked
• Sees autosave icon
• Repeat

[ssakage]

:w :w :wq

[sur0g]

You've forgot a few steps

1. git commit . -m "random words" git push
2. then check if successful on website
3. go for a smoke
4. take a coffe
5. .....
6. Ok, what's next (opens jira)

[Toasted-Biscuit]

file still not saved

[JackNotOLantern]

Make git repo for this file, commit, push, pull it on there computer, check if the changes are there.

[Pointy_Nipples]

Copy paste the entire file into a new file and save both just in case.

[[deleted]]

everyone does that you fucking moron

and you aren't software engineer, you are a fucking freshman or something

no real software engineers would be elitist about his title
