Eh, once you do the hard part of figuring out what you have to do, re-coding isn't usually that bad.

Now data entry. Oof. I've lost two hours of progress there before and that never gets better

What kind of programmer goes 2 hours without compiling their code?

i once almost lost 2 hours of work by making my make clean target delete the source code instead of the output. luckily i hadn't closed vim so i was able to just save it again

There are two types of people in this world

Those who have never experienced unrecoverable data loss

And those who have backups

Im getting sick of thunder
