Yesterday I was cleaning my computer and accidentally wiped out all my dev folder (I got confused with another folder named "dev" that I had just downloaded) and I lost all my work.

Fortunately, most of everything (or the most important at least) was on GIT. I only lost my yesterday's work which was not pushed (only locally committed).

Kids, remember pushing before leaving the building

    Also: have a backup strategy, make them regularly and make sure they are restorable.

    @gronostaj I generally agree, but it was the same day's work. It'd be hard to do backup every few hours. I just accidentally wiped out everything. considering most of it was on GIT, it did not seem reasonable to use one of those recoverations tools; I just went and programmed everything again in two hours hehe

    @elvieeejo I've once typed `sudo rm /var` instead of `sudo rm var`.

    What I learned:

    1. My weekly whole disk backups are totally worth it.

    2. It may be a good idea to run Docker containers with the same user ID as host's.
