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.

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?

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

"Microsoft Please Fix" ifadesi, kullanıcıların Microsoft ürünlerinde karşılaştıkları hatalar veya sorunlar nedeniyle şirketten çözüm talep ettiği bir internet meme'idir. Nakkaştepe Millet Bahçesi Menu

It also plays on the weird trope of people swearing at devs in foreign languages
