I don't believe Auto Save feature in any software : programmer

Meanwhile, me over here with the self-doubt slamming ctrl-z

Dude I save almost every time I type anything. It's muscle memory at this point.

Cost/benefit

Manually saving will save a lot more time than it not saving

Intellij being a good guy amd autosaving every few seconds. No more worrying about crtl+s.

I just can't stand Kate showing me a little orange bar meaning I have not saved the changes yet. The bar must be green! I am a slave to the green bar. The white dot in vscode (I use an open source build) is a bit more tolerable, but whenever I notice it I HAVE to save the file.

Kate

Ah! Another fellow coder of culture!

It's such a good text editor.

Ctrl+s+s+s+s+s

LOL good point about just not releasing Ctrl.

The chances are non-zero that somebody out there attempts to release and press ctrl+s at the exact same time over and over like they're hammering out Beethoven's 5th. XD

I was never really aware I did this until I had to program something with hot reloading (I don't remember what) and it was so insufferable...

And now my pain is with rustfmt. Just because I saved before filling in the struct fields does not mean I want you to format the struct accordingly!!!

Tell me you use Windows without telling me you use Windows.

Meanwhile I just reboot my Mac without bothering to save anything and everything just restores as it was, even new documents that were never saved. It works so well I don’t even think about it anymore.

You must have been born before they were beige that eventually turned yellow and brown.

Maybe these days. That definitely was not true when I was growing up, or even a decade ago.

You're pretty brave! That doesn't always work.
