Sorry to be that guy but I don’t think it’s smart to put this anywhere in public, keep this shit somewhere private as a joke

This is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Anyway any of you ever heard of ACID? Why aren’t our undo buffers durable and integrated with version control? Squash and forget the individual keystrokes as soon as an actual commit is made.

Counterpoint: Virtualized environment/remote desktop. The real computer is in a data center hundreds of kilometers away with world class fire suppression systems.

Counter counterpoint: If you’re virtualized you might be working from home, in which case, that’s rough, hope they manage to restore your house.

With a laggy desktop experience i also can’t really configure how i want? No thank you. It’s bad enough i have to use Windows for software development instead of letting me install Linux

I like it because I don’t have any of the company’s shit on my own machine. I absolutely don’t trust them not to spy on my personal computer use if they had access to it. With remote desktop I close it at the end of the work say and it has no more access to my computer than I have access to their critical systems.

In my case, their shit that we’re required to use don’t even support Linux so if it wasn’t for virtualized environment I’d had to install Windows on my own machine.

Fair, good point. I guess i’m lucky that i don’t have to use my own devices, my machine is provided by my employer.

Another reason I just manually backup my project and avoid Git despite all my other developer friends shaming me. One command and I am out of there.

That doesnt sound like a good reason. What other reasons could you possibly have to do copypasta backups over what you can at least use as a diff based backup letting you still access any old version you want

I just find frequent full backups give me more control and less surprises when I find out my code did not sync/commit or some other issue. Done it for 3 years and it has been very worthwhile. Saved my project from a loss so many times now.

That doesn’t hold up so well when you work with other people on a project.

Yes and no depending on what you are working on.

Merging conflicts will be an issue no matter what you’re working on. Maintaining different sets of code bases based on the version/release will be an issue even when working alone.

First, git checkout -b omgFire, then do the rest.
