Welcome to Programmer Humor!
This is a place where you can post jokes, memes, humor, etc. related to programming!
For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
While I have some sympathy for anyone who loses months of work, as an IT administrator by day, all I have to say about their lack of backups, and lack of RTFM before messing with shit is:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA. you got what you deserved fucker. GL.YF.
Yeah, it's bad enough that it could happen, the fact they allowed that to happen so easily is far worse.
I'm sure that the "three months of work" was completely shit code. Anybody who is unfamiliar with source control (or even backups!) is prone to making stupid mistakes. Republican voters are likely to have a similar experience over the next 4 years.
Reminds me of a hilarious bug in early GHC: https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/163
The compiler will delete your source file if there's any compile error. And the user complained only by sending a very polite email to report this bug. Simon Peyton Jones mentioned it in one of his talks and I still find it quite hilarious till this day.
oof

It also plays on the weird trope of people swearing at devs in foreign languages
This is 2000% user error lmao even tho VS Code is a pain in the ass on w*ndows
Did you actually read the thread and see the bug they found where it deleted files unassociated with git?
So VS Code isn't just slow and bloated, it also deletes your files. So glad I was turned off by its excessive memory consumption and deleted it before it deleted my files.
Edit: also why I only ever used git from the command line, I never found a git UI that is easy to understand, and never trusted them.
It's really not slow or bloated. There's a reason it's so popular (even in Linux)
If it's running slow, maybe it's time to check your computer....
I literally had to use it to load 100 git projects simultaneously recently
VS Code slow and bloated? Someone hasn't been spending nearly enough time in IntelliJ
Two things can be right at the same time. I remember when I used to run VS6, IE and WinAmp in 128MB with KBs to spare. Even today, proper VS is a much better product than VSCode while being a full fledged IDE and not just a glorified text editor.
Vscode is an ide
If vs6 is so great, feel free to use it
It's also about productivity, Notepad uses less ram, but is not productive. This runs fine on any machine really
And the point of ram is to be used.. You can't check the ram usage and simply assume it's bloated, because most apps also cache too. RAM is meant to be used

It does warn you it will erase the file when you discard...
Go read the actual thread. There was a bug someone found that files you have in there that aren't even associated with git still get deleted. I'm not entirely convinced this was the poster's fault.
Warns you that changes will be discarded....not quite the same words
If you use git and understand that VSC's source control stuff is just a thin wrapper around git, you should understand what "discard all changes" means
"discard" is not a git operation. Reset and restore are, but those weren't the words used.
I just tried right now to get the exact message.
Are you sure you want to DELETE foo?
This is IRREVERSIBLE!
This file will be FOREVER LOST if you proceed.
The confirmation button even says Delete File...
User error.
This issue was from 2017
Ah looking at issue 32459 it was addressed shortly after.
You're right that it did originally say "Discard".
Man who clicks confirmation for leopards to delete his work is angry and surprised when his work is deleted.
