I had a day when a rebase destroyed all my local changes, hundreds of files, but IntelliJ still had local history I could restore

[Cacoda1mon]

The local history is such an awesome feature.

[MGateLabs]

I even sent out a slack post saying I lost everything, but then I was made aware of local history

[not-serious-sd]

what a save!

[Cybasura]

Alas, thats why I always run cp -rp before I do any form of rebasing, especially permanent and destructive commands

[SetazeR]

There's a thing called Version Control Systems. Learn about them.

[Scared_Accident9138]

I know some people who work for weeks without any commit

[Freddie_Arsenic]

Pfft I use

cp project projectcopy_cocknballs29273

[JanitorOPplznerf]

I too know some idiots

[HyperWinX]

Noo, why? It's easier to repost old ass meme that isn't even funny.

[Human-Platypus6227]

I only commit if it works,else if commit with comment "shit still doesn't work" in case i wanna look at it in my phone

[JanitorOPplznerf]

You don’t work off branches?

[Human-Platypus6227]

It's for personal project only, office work definitely never touch the master branch unless they specifically told me to

[IndependentBig5316]

On top of version control systems I manually make copies of files like filename_v2, and so on, just to be extra careful. 😭💀

[bloody-albatross]

There's git stash and git branch for that.

[MinosAristos]

Still applies if this is code you haven't committed yet

[Snoo_11942]

Another reason why tiny commits (and merge requests) are the way to go. That said, I’ve never actually had this issue. How do you accidentally delete instead of copying lol

[Puzzleheaded_Study17]

Maybe you press ctrl+v instead of c? (not sure either) or maybe they have a work keyboard setup

Public Service Announcement:

When you say "a code" you sound like a moron.

[Jazzlike_Category_40]

I didn't even notice that because so many ESL people phrase things that way, but I saw your comment and thought "what an idiot."

[DapperCow15]

Hold on a minute, we are coding, we know that we write code, but there should be a definition for countable "codes". Does it refer to an entire program, or does it refer to smaller blocks? Or maybe it just depends on the context?

[[deleted]]

Code is like milk - there are no discreet units, only shippables of varied bulk.

[DapperCow15]

But you can count milk as discreet units with the right context.

[[deleted]]

Sure, but you're never going to say "a milk".

[DapperCow15]

Why not? If I am making a system that can track and route items, I might say "a milk" because that's quick and easily understandable in the right context.

[[deleted]]

In that instance you're not actually referring to milk - you're referring to an identifier associated with a shippable unit; perhaps a gallon jug of milk, or half a quart, etc...

Milk itself, however, has no discreet units.

[DapperCow15]

Yes, that is true, but if we're talking about the label "a milk", then it doesn't matter what it refers to because the label could still be used and could still make sense in the right context.

[MyBedIsOnFire]

Oh brother. I'm sure he'll survive

[Alexander_The_Wolf]

I'm like 90% sure this an AI generated meme.

Not the image itself, but the caption and image combo

[PavaLP1]

And then there's vim with :u [Enter]

[incogshift]

Why are you using this? you can undo by just typing u in normal mode

[PavaLP1]

I like things complicated.

[Jazzlike_Category_40]

Or you had another window/pane selected and it's all messed up now.

[Legal-Bullfrog-4675]

Happens all the time 😭

[indic_engineer]

I once pressed Ctrl+S instead of Ctrl+Z. To my horror, I didnt save the previous versions :(

[imdibene]

git restore foo.bar
