Just happened it a couple of times in an hour.

Its time to quit

Why do people keep doing this, even in vim I always :w every second

I smash ctrl+s for almost every line

You must have shitty habits then

@alexbrooklyn exactly. It's not brain surgery

even the editor asks you if you want to save changes before closing !

@Coffe2Code not before crashing, but still

And if you can't get the muscle memory to stop fucking around, atleast enable autosave

@alexbrooklyn If the editor crashes, get a different editor, tf

Which IDE?

@alexbrooklyn In Vim, you can even save automatically every time you go into Normal mode. Can't lose anything with that!

Just enable auto save in fav editor or ide

Are you Venezuelan?

That's only 500 lines tho.

@sudocode shit same dude lol

Visual Studio has recovery saves which it restores if it crashes. 🤷‍♂️

@NoMad This one might save you, then: https://github.com/mbbill/undotree

@kwilliams and you can actually quit the app with unsaved files and when you reopen vscode they're there with the unsaved edits

Im sure theres a solution, but what I hate is editing a config or some code in the terminal just to find out I didnt sudo at the end and all my changes are lost. Any tricks better than sudo -s ?

@sudocode that will only repeat the command with sudo, It wont get me back my unsaved changes in the file, will it?

It wouldn’t have happened if you break ctrl + s with every letter you type lol

@alexbrooklyn I too am a ctrl + s spammer

@lwem at that point some people let it be what saves everything and forget to manually save it and lose progress when they don’t wait. That’s not everyone just some.

@ewpratten how much weights can you lift Mr Flex 😂 only 500 lines what the hell 🤣

@Bubbles bruh, I delete whole projects daily 😂😂

On a serious note, I press CTRL+S every word I type.

@ewpratten I’d just off myself at that point
