Letting your text editor write your code, not using version control... I don't feel sad at all. Hope lesson was learned.

I made a game engine and a game back in highschool, but all that code is lost because I didn't know how to use git. I knew git existed (and even knew enough to know it was better than mercurial or svn), but I was too lazy to learn.

Git wasn't the first version control software. I remember using sccs back in 1991 and apparently it was written all the way back in 1972 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_Code_Control_System

Just a heads up, it you don't know how to use cli git in 2025 you're probably a shit developer. There are undoubtedly exceptions, but I would argue not knowing version control intimately makes you a bad developer.
