  • Hey there 👋, I know you mean well by that comment, like I get it, I do. ☺️ But I just wanted to let you know:

    THERE HAVE BEEN ZERO STUDIES DONE ON THE SAFETY OF CRAB TRAINS.

    ZERO.

    But despite that, they are gaining widespread support, and now even people like yourself are calling them “optimal.”

    Listen: Someone I know lost an arm in the pincer mechanism of one of these trains. More work needs to be done before we can consider them safe, nevermind “optimal”. Don’t buy into the techbro BS.

    Friends don’t let friends crab train.




  • 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 clean when you clicked this. Which like…yeah why the hell would it do that lol? I don’t think I have ever used git clean in my entire career.


  • It seems like he was trying to learn though? He clicked it, like “hell yes I want source control, let’s figure this out”

    “It says all my files are changed? Oh shit why did it change my files? Shit fuck, undo, how do I undo…Do I want to discard the changes? I don’t even know what it changed. Yes please undo whatever changes you did to my files”

    And poof.
