There is a difference between someone who is new and experiences something like their IDE deletes a file that was unexpected and asking a question about why it did that.
Then there are arrogant assholes who believe their shit doesn't stink and that they couldn't have done anything wrong and it was the IDE's fault for not knowing what they wanted to do versus what they commanded it to do.
The OP is the latter.
I mean, not entirely, and he says he lost months worth of work. Like imagine you know nothing of git:
Click buttons in the IDE to add source control.
IDE says a bunch of files have been changed.
But I don't want to make changes to the files, I want to source control them.
Attempt to undo the changes. Click "discard changes" thinking it will put them back to how they were before clicking add source control. Get a warning dialog that this is not undoable, but that's fine because I don't want whatever changes it made to my files anyway.
All files are deleted and unrecoverable.
Like that experience sucks balls and it's reasonable that a person wouldn't expect "discard" == "delete". Also, from reading the GitHub thread, apparently at that time VSCode was doing a
git cleanwhen you clicked this. Which like...yeah why the hell would it do that lol? I don't think I have ever usedgit cleanin my entire career.Months worth of work. Going an entire day without committing should never happen. Also, rawdogging it without a backup?
Nope, dude learned a hard lesson. No sympathy. He thought that the rules of data storage don't apply to him and he got boned.
He's right, his shit doesn't stink. His decision making was reasonable for a new programmer.
