++ if you've ever had an IDE crash at the worst possible moment! 🤦‍♂️

What happened?

I don't use Eclipse

@rol1510 Ugh, major crisis alert! Had a critical hotfix to push live, but just before committing... IDE crash! 😫 Lost all unsaved changes.

@electrineer Haha, lucky you! Eclipse can be a rollercoaster ride sometimes. What's your go-to IDE then?

@superdupernova don‘t use the official iOS client. Use mine 😆

@beingbishwa what do you mean you lost all unsaved changes? Isn’t an IDE supposed to autosave?

@beingbishwa Any particular reason not to have autosave enabled? It would've (wait for it) saved your ass.

@kamen npm start --watch

Vvrong tags.

I mean I hit cmd + s every god damn minute. I thought everyone who code does that or is it just me 😕. I even do it just even scrolling 😂

@hasnainsaad93 Don't forget in the browser and not even coding.

I tried an extension for a while in vscode which auto saved files and created a git history based on auto saves and not just commits, like committing every change...

#microcommits

I think most of my software, even simple text editors, retain unsaved changes even after crashing

@lopu as a joke or did you actually find it legit usable?

@jiraTicket I found it unreliable, it didn't create "tagged" versions often enough and so often lost some progress, but it did save me a couple times.

It's essentially like a more advanced undo/rego etc..

So, pretty cool!

You know when you undo/redo and then lose a redo branch 😭

@jiraTicket Why would you name yourself jiraTicket ffs

I think it even worked without saving the file! 👀

Commit early peeps
