Syncing folders gone wrong
So I took two classes in the first half of the summer, logic design and a data structures class using C. We have our final project for data structures due today, and when I working on it yesterday, I at one point tried to sync the program files I had on a remote server with my computer, and instead of syncing the empty folder on my laptop with all of my program files, I synced all my program files with the empty folder on my laptop, deleting all of my work!
Fortunately, my lab partner had older versions of most of our files and I had some more recent ones saved, but we still lost 7+ hours of work to that mistake, just over 24 hours before the thing was due . I of course felt terrible, but my lab partner was fortunately nice about it, and I ended up coding up until 3:30 this morning and then got up early to continue... I'm still a little behind where we wanted to be, but fortunately not as much. So, lesson learned: always back up your files! Ugh.

Yup. Cardinal rule of programming.
"One step forward, TWO back-ups!" I usually end up with 6 or 7 versions of my CNC programs, each with a different name, to avoid the problem. Gets confusing at times but nowhere near as frustrating as over-writing a known good file.

Sounds like there was a failure in the logic design of your sync scheme!
Okay, JK, I know how painful that stuff can be. But look on the bright side, at least it wasn't seen by millions as SpaceX's failure was. |

Guess who shouldn't be working on the autonomous driving car codex . . .

Oh, so now everybody's a comedian! (As my father might say )
