You only lose code once due to missing backups (either manual backups or source control). And if you do you only have yourself to blame

If you're coding without source control then you're a fool. It may not be integrated in the IDE like that, but you should be always able to revert changes at worst back to the last checkin point.

I don't need a source control since I'm a solo developer no need the check in check out so other developer don't mix with my code.
|

The history preservation is still a good enough reason to use source control. I work in a team in my job, but I have hobby coding at home that no-one else can touch, but it's still worth setting up an SVN repository for it. It means that if I screw up it's far easier to get back to a working state.

Then i'd say, the awkward moment when you type format c:
into cmd and press enter
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

I once tested a driver on the same machine as I was building it on.
It BSODed, and when I rebooted and opend the project half my source files contained nothing but full stops.
I didnt do that again.

Ah, the joys of tweaking production code because after all, "it has to work".

No, I was really developing a kernel driver, crashed my machinem and it trashed half my source code.
Dont test on a dev machine is the moral.

Without a doubt. That's what I was alluding to.

Really?
I have no idea how "tweaking produciton code, because it has to woek" is in any way relevant then.

It can only be improved by going berserk yelling NOOOOOOOOOOO! while you are wildly unplugging all the cables on your computer.

Try the following:
Write some long text in Notepad pressing Ctrl + S from time to time.
At one point you accidently press Ctrl + A instead and continue typing.
Next time you press Ctrl + S again.
The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.

This is one reason that the old school Alt+F, S reflex wins ... if you fat-finger that you get Save As which is not a problem.

It would at least be an improvement on the Mankini!

That really needs a fat bloke in it.

Hmmm. "A turkey" appears to fit both those definitions.

Bloody stupid code monkey [me] doesn't follow the spec and the whole kaboodle ends up as stable as a francium statue in a hurricane.
It's debug or bugger off, so I'm going for the later. I'll pick up the girls, then make an early start on supper with some mulled wine to keep out the chill.

Shirley that's a typo, shouldn't it be mulled gin?
