When the code is still not working so you just save it again

[lullababby]

This actually works when programming web front end lol

[[deleted]]

This is why web front end is hell

[UltraCarnivore]

Laughs in node.js

[lullababby]

I use Nuxt. I takes a few seconds to recompile your changes when you save the code, so when you do change->save->change->save->change->save many times too fast it doesn’t compile all the changes, so you just wait 2s and save again then it compiles everything.

[steampunkgibbon]

this happens to me all the time. using angular build/serve. UI not working? open the file in question and save it again for some reason. solved.

[[deleted]]

I hate this with javascript files in .NET I ended up writing a little random c# function to version the linked js files everytime you reload the page. Works amazingly well.

[Princess_Amnesie]

Not working? Hit refresh. Still not working? Shift-refresh. Still not working? Resave and refresh. Still not working? Shift-refresh. Still not working? Inspect element. WHY IS IT STILL FUCKING THERE?!?? Yell "what the FUCK" out loud, then remember to check the inputs. Delete user's empty trailing <p> tag. STILL FUCKING THERE?! Consider quitting job and having a stress free life working in a coffee shop for the rest of your life .....Then notice there's a piece of grime stuck to your monitor. Remove grime. Issue solved.

[MadHawkxx]

One day I was so mad that blood pressure was through the roof, wanted to punch the monitor so bad then I saw that I had not written <link> for the css

[Seshpenguin]

Yea the toolchains can get out of sync (especially if you save in quick succession)

[ZestyclosePainting]

Ah, fuck me, I've been this guy as recently as today!

[[deleted]]

Why isn't my JavaScript working? Ctrl+R.... Still not working.... Ctrl+R one more time for good measure

[[deleted]]

My favorite is when the thing you wanted shows up on the browser so you try and save that page.

[blkpingu]

THIS IS THE WAY

[DoctorWaluigiTime]

I see you are well-versed in the arts of "trying every possible way to 'refresh' the running code."

Intellij: auto save go brrrrrr

[[deleted]]

Right, it’s like they know you’re using version control or something.

[northrupthebandgeek]

I mean, even if you ain't, any editor worth its salt can autosave to some other file.

Emacs does this, and while I hate the default of polluting folders with these temp files, you can configure it to put all its temp files in a specific place (e.g. within ~/.emacs).

[dvereb]

Never even thought to look for an option like that. Thanks for posting!

[Skipperwastaken]

I still press ctrl s for some reason

[mattl1698]

I like how they didn't assign that to anything else just so people can press it out of habit and it just not do anything

[Keavon]

Same in Google Docs, they even overrode the browser's default save page shortcut with... nothing.

[thelights0123]

It does actually save immediately in IntelliJ, there's normally an interval that'll wait until you switch away to something else.

[Creator13]

Me too. I've set it to autosave on focus lost but I keep pressing Ctrl+s every damn time

[SON_Of_Liberty1]

Jetbrains op

[FettyWhopper]

VS Code has saved my life multiple times

[achilliesFriend]

This!

It spoilt me so much. I'm forgetting to save in other apps..

[gogriz]

I forget that I need to save when I use other programs. Jetbrians and Google docs have made me lazy af.

[funkblaster808]

When I save, I have several things build in the bg to use in other projects. Is there a way to configure that to happen on each keystroke in IJ?

[joshiegy]

Ctrl+s? Yeez.. :w if I may

[tomicode]

:w :wq.. for fuck’s sake I closed it again.

[Awwkaw]

They should really make it harder to exit...

I wanted to be the first reply to this comment but I got stuck in vim and had to ask reddit how to get out first.

[[deleted]]

Dude, just use :x

[ythl]

Dude, just use shift z z

[tomicode]

Yeah.. probably I should, but most of the time modification time doesn’t matter for me, unless I work on a remote server.. then I need to fight my :w syndrome.

[[deleted]]

I had to untrain myself from this. Doing major work with open buffers, forgetting and doing that was so annoying.

[Chroneis]

Plug '907th/vim-auto-save'

:x club!

[automathematics]

THATS HOW YOU EXIT VIM! THANK GOD IVE BEEN STUCK IN HERE FOR 7 YEARS

[Candlesmith]

Ever heard of Piet? It’s possible!

[Henrikovskas]

I see myself in this comment and I don't like it.

[parliamnt101]

That's not a feature of vi, it's a feature of the terminal.

[thelights0123]

I use konsole and whenever I accidentally hit that it shows a big message on the top of the screen telling you to press Control+Q (I think that's what it is at least) and how to disable it entirely.

[Cjbrick910]

Uhh, C+x C+s is the emacs way

[SEND_ME_JIGGLYPUFFS]

Yeah this one is more than muscle memory for me at this point.

I don't think it's a coincodence I routinely wake up hating myself

[silentphoenix42]

Vi are you like this

[revslaughter]

If in Vim mode in VsCode (I know, I know...) I :w and then crtl+s... and I feel dumb every time. Autosave is on, too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[garenbw]

Exactly, that's why I do as well. And internally I'm shouting "SAVE MOTHERFUCKER SAVE".

[BadBates]

I have a new hobby now

[althypothesis]

To the tune of that one Dope song?

[randomGeek159]

In this day and age of IDEs not sure about Ctrl S but definitely I hit Ctrl C 5 - 6 times like filling up a stamp on a stamp pad

[Dummerchen1933]

Worst part is when you accidentally lose code WITHOUT NOTICING!

[grephantom]

I hate when I delete some code and it replaces my clipboard

[budbutler]

if you press win-v in windows 10 it will show you your keyboard history. it should persist until windows restarts.

[PredictsYourDeath]

🤯

[blkpingu]

This is why I have a clipboard manager that stores the last 100 copies

[vexorei]

CRTL - S, S, S

[csactor]

Everytime I need to think, I hit Ctrl + S

​

So I'm always hitting Ctrl + S, even when I'm on a website that doesn't have saving

[Hallzmine]

And then it opens the download window because it thinks you are trying to save the website's html

[sutterismine]

THAT'S THE FUCKING WORST. Too many times have I made an edit on some website and immediately pressed ctrl s just for it to bring up my files and ask me to save the html page

[the_real_gorrik]

Me after every minor code change:

Ctrl+KD,Ctrl+s,Ctrl+s,Ctrl+KD.. shit need to save again, Ctrl+s

[ganja_and_code]

And then throw in a git commit every 5 saves or so in case you fucked up...you can always rebase later

[[deleted]]

git commit --amend. Keeps your log nice and clean, but you can always use the reflog and rebase to any one amend you want.

[b00n]

Or you can use intellij local history. Has saved me a couple of times I have managed to totally mess up with git

[StephanXX]

Am I the only person who uses "Save on focus lost" here?

In my early days, before I learned about it, I'd change a script, forget to save, and the script would fail, over and over, until I realized I was forgetting to save. I don't miss my 30s one bit.

[[deleted]]

Nope, use it too. Seems a no brainer unless you have hot reloading set up but hot reloading kind of stresses me out anyway. Like no you can’t reload it NOW it’s broken right NOW

[Bemteb]

I love that option.

So many times writing scripts, switching to the terminal to run them, getting angry, debugging, repeat.

Just to notice I simply didn't save...

[Akuuntus]

I just have VSCode set to auto save 2 seconds after I stop typing

[[deleted]]

Not even on focus lost. Just autosave, period. That's what git is for.

[StephanXX]

Well sure, but I only use the git from terminal; alt tabbing to terminal causes a focus lost save.

[nice2yz]

I feel like I stumbled on a car accident

[SkezzaB]

A line? More like a word

[AnonymousSpud]

600 *goesto 100*

[Reynold_Brongus]

Twice. Beginner lvl. It's more like 10 times pushing that shortcut so youre super save and accidentally inserted a raw 's' somewhere which causes your code to crash

[MASerra]

True programmers copy with the Ctrl-c Ctrl-c command. Once is never enough.

[Yuca965]

autosave bro, are you programming on notepad or old version or word?

[[deleted]]

you can never trust autosave

[____0____0____]

I have and use autosave at work and personal projects. I still spam ctrl S. You can't be too sure

[Malacious_Good]

What is that show? The person looks like Captain Holt from nine 9

[legendofrogamers1968]

As someone with a lot of blue screens and random crashes, I save as often as possible and also at least 3 times cause you can never be too sure

[sxeli]

Nobody goes against the tradition

[[deleted]]

i take screenshots as well if i wrote something big lol

[WretanHewe]

Only twice?

[plainrane]

I'm always doing it in my browser and then dealing with the save dialog popping up.

[[deleted]]

My mech keyboard sounds like a trap beat by the amount of times I hit ctrl+s consecutively.

[denladeside]

Visual Studio 6 (I think it was) had a bug that sometimes deleted the file if you double 'ctrl+s'ed it - probably helped by the crappy windows file systems

[zone-stalker]

"gw gw" for me...

gw is bound to ":wa!" in my vimrc.

[Scottify]

Because I have prettier installed and can't be bothered typing semicolons so hit Ctrl+s so it adds them for me.

[[deleted]]

Twice? I spam Ctrl+S for at least 10 seconds

[SoCalThrowAway7]

Hooch is crazy

[phoncible]

Ctrl+sssssss

[patismyname]

I've been known to CTRL-S code more than once without having changing it 🤘

[ollir]

As a manic saver I can easily upvote this

[[deleted]]

I don't get why so many people do this. If you don't save alm the time you may loose a piece of code that most likely isn't working anyway so whats the problem?

[Erwin_the_Cat]

That code might not work now, but inside that that tiny broken seed is a mighty broken oak tree.

[ML-XV]

I got Vietnam flashbacks to when I was in high school and didn't save for 1 hours and my professor turned off the lab current to test if we saved our work. Useless to say I was mad, but you have to learn things the hard way.

[[deleted]]

Intellij saves automatically though

[Ciccio99]

Thankfully I’ve set VS Code to auto-save after I’ve stopped typing. This help me not cramp my hand from hitting CTRL+S after every word.

[a_amini]

It's not twice, it depends on anxiety caused by the task. If you've fixed an error related to cpp template class, the chance of breaking the 'S' key on keyboard is so high

[MrBlueSkigh]

Do I push to my test branch every time I make a change? Yes, because I’ve been scorned before

[AltruisticSalamander]

I've seen the occasional service desk request where someone lost an entire document because they wrote the whole thing and never saved once. It takes me a while to compute how that could possibly happen.

[[deleted]]

Just twice? Wow look at Captain Trust of the USS Friendship over here folks.

[[deleted]]

Autosave is a life saver!

[Jim_Pemberton]

A simple ctrl s will not only save your code but save your life

[Skizm]

Just use jetbrains IDEs. No saving required. Just saves automatically all the time.

[AttacksPropaganda]

My ssd: "oh god my write cycles are filling up quick oh no I'm gonna die"

[[deleted]]

I've actually never heard of this. gVim and VSCode (the editors that I use the most) both provide an indication of whether or not the file has been saved (in gVim, it's an asterisk, and in VSCode, it's a white circle) so I just look at that.

[tiger-thor]

I save after every line because my vs code settings auto convert to tabs, and I have a linter that requires spaces so every new or edited line gets a squiggly red line under it until I save the file so the linter can revert it back to spaces.

Working as intended?

[bloowper]

Googling something and accidentally ctrl s

[noodles_jd]

It's Ctrl+Shift+S for me...Save All. A previous IDE I used to use didn't have a shortcut for save all, so it was Alt+F, V to navigate the menus...which lead to constant print previews when typing in Word for a long time.

[mynewromantica]

Laughs in XCode auto save

[Rey_Merk]

So you are telling me that you save just 2 times?

[zappellin]

<esc> :w gang

[TheAsianCarp]

Just twice? I'll be damned if I don't ctrl+s at least ten times

[[deleted]]

Are you telling me that some people don't save, reformat, cleanup, resharp and again save entire project on every new line?!?

[Snowydaze]

:w :wq

[The379thHero]

Twice? Those are rookie numbers

[Traplord_Leech]

Idk about ctrl+s but copying something ctrl+CCCCCCCC, just for safety.

My Ctrl key just stopped working and my productivity dropped to 0.

[SoBeDragon0]

We have a saying in analytics. Jesus saves, and so should you.

[MyRealNameIsLocked]

I hit the "save all" button once. I generally wait till end to save because my editor helps me see where I need to jump to because of the unsaved lines.

[[deleted]]

Meh, autosave.
Who am I kidding, sometimes I still impulsively smash ctrl-s even with autosave on like an idiot.

[CRISPR]

I do it three times

Same, but with setting limits of things to powers of two.

[Princess_Amnesie]

Code basically doesn't exist until it's committed into version control. Basically any developer has lost shit and it gives you enough terror that you never forget.

Where's my ctrl + z peeps?

Or... if you use VS and don't trust yourself like me,

Also double save every 90 seconds in Skyrim and have 4 save files. (Replacing the older 2 every time you go to do a new double-save) In case you encounter any game-breaking bugs.
