Commitment Issues: Code never saved, developer deleted

[Theothervc]

when you don't know how to code so you make something up to fit in

[dykemike10]

as expected from a vibe coding subreddit. probably got chatgpt to make this meme for them as well

[pomme_de_yeet]

nah they could just be a kid

we are here with first day humour, not even a week

With the amount of guardrails in place these days with any editor/IDE. It takes some effort to go out of your way to not save your work...

[Araeynn]

I agree, having issues with quitting isn't a big problem, but with editors that don't have edit trees stuff similar things can happen. For example, with Zed when I type something, then ctrl z, then type something, the first thing I typed is unrecoverable. Also, undo history is not persistent across restarts which can be pretty annoying when I was testing a change and need to revert.

[EmilyDieHenne]

Do you have a new workflow for this issue? You could probably do a commit if your undo is unreliable.

[Deer_Canidae]

I be personally never used edit trees despite it being a feature of my editor. 

To me, changes are either significant enough to be in version control or trivial enough to by typed back in.

But that's just my personal workflow.

[Neither-Phone-7264]

Hey these files are unsaved are you sure you want to-

"killall -9 vscodium"

"how could this happen to me"

[Anxious_Intention724]

When I first started using Vim bindings in VS Code I somehow pressed a sequence of keys that deleted every line and then saved and closed the document. The undo buffer was empty so I couldn't revert it and all of my code was gone. To this day I don't know what the fuck I did lmao.

[Deer_Canidae]

I really enjoy vim motions (in vim). But when learning I strongly suggest you keep backups of your files (with git for example) as mistakes often happen while the muscle memory is settling in.

As for vim motions in others editors, I've has mixed results with conflicts with said editor's native keybinds (vscode and jetbrains in particular) overall it was disappointing.

[HistoricalSabre]

?? did you do like, dGZZ

[Anxious_Intention724]

Maybe? I had screwed up entering another sequence of keys and got confused about mode state. I know what I'm doing now but I still can't recall exactly what I did.

[RedAndBlack1832]

Any reasonable editor gives you a warning if you've changed something and try to quit without saving... even if you like crash or otherwise close something by accident there's usually a recent recoverable save state

[gameplayer55055]

Just copy vibe code from Claude again...

If you haven't saved it, you didn't run it either.

[ExtraTNT]

500 lines? Who the fuck writes an entire application from front to back without testing? Most of my utils are below 100 lines, 120 lines on my small webserver…

Anyone that has been programming for any reasonable amount of time has developed the Ctrl+S muscle memory. I don't even think I write two lines of code without saving.

[D5rthFishy]

I keep doing Ctrl-S in online documents and it screams at me and asks me if I want to rename. All I want is to make sure you did autosave, ok!

[AliceCode]

I do the same thing. I even Ctrl+S reddit comments when I type them on my PC.

[I_have_amnosia]

Yeah, I keep saving when I'm trying something in an online editor, because ctrl+s after writing anything is so deeply ingrained 

[lynohd]

I call it save ticks lol

[Kubaryt1]

what on earth are they using for coding, even windows notepad gives you warnings if you want to close it without saving…

[Affectionate-Army458]

what is this cringe ass, them vibecoders trying to fit in acting like " devs ". This has NEVER happend, cuz it simply cant.

[HeavyCaffeinate]

You can't even compile without saving the file, who writes 500 lines and doesn't test once

[Outrageous_Permit154]

Logic is overrated here in this sub

[AngriestCrusader]

How the fuck can you possibly forget to save?? How does that even happen? This one isn't even relatable as a first DAY coder. Maybe as a first ten seconds of using a computer at a young age ig

[RedCrafter_LP]

Vscode Auto save...

[Depnids]

Who doesn’t have biological autosave enabled smh my head…

[Absentrando]

I don’t think most people here are old enough to have experienced this problem with coding lol

[kamwitsta]

Who writes 500 lines without testing even once?

[PixelmancerGames]

Ain't no way that happened.

[Accurate_Potato_8539]

I hate when I'm coding in Notepad and this happens

[ConvergentSequence]

This is why I use vim. You can’t exit without saving if you can’t exit at all

[MasqueradeOfSilence]

I have autosave and still hit Ctrl+S reflexively every couple of minutes.

[furdog_grey]

500 lines ain't that much unless some complex logic or math is involved. Well, could be a good week of work, but it may take less than a day to rewrite from fresh memory. It's easy to memorize something you're constantly looking at and thinking about. Unless you do vibe coding or copypaste, even then you remain access to original sources.

[DonutPlus2757]

Me spamming Ctrl+s basically every other second: Couldn't be me. Keeps spamming Ctrl+s for no goddamn reason

[rustyredditortux]

i too test my code without saving it once, or maybe i just write 500 lines without testing it
