"Microsoft Please Fix" ifadesi, genellikle kullanıcıların Microsoft ürünlerinde yaşadıkları sorunlara veya hata bildirimlerine yönelik bir çağrıdır. Tostçu Mahmut Menu

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.

Man I get paranoid about synchronization programs for this very reason. There's usually some turnkey easy-mode enabled as soon as you first launch that's like:

"Hey you wanna back up your entire NAS to your phone?! That'll be fun, right?!"

And you're like "...No."

And then it wants to obliterate everything so it's all "synchronized", often it's not easy to find a "No, stop, don't do anything at all until I configure this." Option.

iTunes was SO BAD about this.

Syncthing is the least-bad sync software I've ever run. It's got some footguns but it's still brilliant.

I would imagine there's still ways to back up version controlled software right?

Any professional would have a code repository and probably a build server which spits out binaries left and right, off site of course.

Bonus points if that is the easiest way to deploy the software, so all developers actually use it.

Edit: typo

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.

Left the --hardcore compile option on. Easy mistake.

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.

What a delightfully divisive statement. We do all need to start somewhere though, and losing months of work is very discouraging!

Why are they messing with the source control options when they're not using source control? Perhaps learn about stuff before you start clicking buttons and performing delete operations on your super critical files?
