Programmer Humor

i just store everything in google drive and let chance take over

Why would you ever use an editor that could lose your work unless you save? Vim users will never understand that.

:wa!

I just do a full rebuild. Saves all files.

I've never had to think about that with Intellij IDEA. It just works!

Ok here's a question I should have asked like way sooner.

In Ubuntu (and similar distros), is there a hotkey to immediately kill the process? Like CTRL-C but harsher.

Ctrl-S? Are you writing code on Windows? 🤮

:w!

Using JetBrains product, I never explicitly save while programming 😅

Ctrl+s means "stop the presses" to VT100 terminal emulators and you have to press ctrl+q to resume. Key combinations from a different era.

Except the autosave in BBEdit. I trust that with my life. It’s never lost ANYTHING in 30 years.

C-x C-s

Excuse me i think you mean ctrl+c:w

sync ; sync ; sync ; shutdown -h now

When you do this using Word online it be like “chill dude we autosave here, we got you” and I’m like “brother I do not trust you”.

But then, if you’re forced to develop on microsoft 🤬, it’s late, you’re tired, you’re hand slides just a little to the right (win + d), aaaaand everything is gone, and you’re sitting there looking at you’re background wondering what the hell just happened 🙃.

autosave is no good if you have live reload imo

CTRL + Shift + S is the real GOAT

Closing tabs and one of them asks if you want to save changes

you CTRL+C CTRL+C CTRL+C CTRL+C CTRL+C

I CTRL+X CTRL+V we are not the same.

I really should turn on auto save when vscode loses focus.

Meanwhile I, a gentleman

nmap <CR> :w<CR>

Binding the Enter key to save the current buffer. 🧐

The same can be applied for editors as well

We can optimize this further:

unsatisfied = true
while(unsatisfied) {
    key.dispatch(
        Keyboard::Ctrl,
        Keyboard::s
    )
}

..No, there is no instance where unsatisfied changes state

Some of us have PTSD from losing work back in the day. Now it’s just habit.
