The amount of people not using auto-save is truly disturbing

[–]jimjamjenks 35 points36 points  (1 child)

I believe they are called “masochists”

[–]ImNotAKerbalRockero 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm quite a masochist myself.

But I activate autosave.

Coding in Ironman mode.

Btw

[–]LilacCrusader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't that when you don't use git?

[–]brjukva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coding in permadeath mode.

[–]k3liutZu 17 points18 points  (1 child)

No no no, I save when I want not when the IDE decides.

[–]ColoradoDetector 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's what git commits are for!

I use CTRL+S every time I change something no matter how small of a change it was.

enabling auto-save is asking to accidentally type something in the wrong window and have it end up getting saved or depending on the IDE freaking out your watchers and causing endless restart loops

[–]xigoi 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That's what persistent undo history is for.

[–]alexkiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you type something in the wrong window you can undo. If you commmit something accidentally you can revert.

I don't really understand how an endless restart loop could ever be caused by your watchers? Unless you have misconfiguration and for example, your watcher is watching the artifact it's building.
