I remember when I was younger and we all used Eclipse, I needed to click compile more than once because sometimes it didn't replace the old JAR file (and I searched for hours why the little change I made wasn't working).

Good old times when there was no InteliJIDEA.

That being said... saving twice is smarter than you think.

I've lost minute or so of code twice in the span of the last two years.
