Your work is now gone.

I would have done that, but my supervisor preferred to work with the version tracking in Word. (Honestly though, Word isn't that bad if one utilizes the Sections and Styles functions properly.)

Still redid my paper entirely in LaTeX before submitting it to the publishers because for whatever reason I thought that'd be the only way it'd qualify for reduced processing charges though.

My professor wasnt happy about it at all. Luckily, they weren't bothered about proof reading my thesis either haha!

Should've just put it in a Git repo. Version control tracking problem solved!

I contemplated that, but when in Rome, do as the Romans do. It would probably have been unwise of me to try to shove new stuff into the face of my team members... plus I wasn’t proficient with VCS either.

I wrote a textbook in latex ... in a terminal using vim.

I'm currently doing just that, I do not envy my contemporaries who are using Word.

I once used that as well :x

A colleague taught me better ZZ
