Have you ever been working on a project in a program and you've spent several hours on it and suddenly, your program crashes then you realize you did not save your progress and start to slowly laugh and have an evil look in your eye with your head about to explode? Well, that just happened to me. DOH!
 
Yup. Its even worst when your editor corrupts a file when fixing a bug and then you need torewrite the entire fike. -_-

Glad I'm not the only one :]
 
Working with apps or software that save for you is helpful (Google Docs, IntelliJ, etc.). Outside of that, I've gotten in the habit of tapping Ctrl + S on any document I'm working on any time I stop to think. I still even do it in Google Docs and code editors that save automatically.

Something like that, yeah. :cry:
 
Much like in Minecraft, auto save is a life saver, and occasionally when I get very far in a document, I will duplicate it so that I have a separate copy and keep updating it as I go farther in the original.

I apply to the same philosophy in Minecraft because sometimes it kicks in just after you've died or gotten yourself in a precarious situation, and with not many tools or items to get out..

This is also why I am glad for cloud integration because even if I forget to take precautions like that, I know that there will be a copy saved on my Dropbox and on each of my computers and devices..
 
Working on anything for more than 30mins and losing it let alone several hours would really tick me off so you must be suffering! Lol.
 
My computer recently has been crashing once a day...so I know the feeling lol.
 
I don't know about a few hours, but this happened to me recently with probably 20 minutes' work. Microsoft Word for Mac is very buggy!
 
Unfortunately I know exactly how you feel. With me though, you would think I had learned a lesson and would save periodically, I still tend to forget! I hate that crap!
 
I hate it so much, I remember once I was writing something and got to like 10k words, don't ask me why I was writing it in my browser but it was the dumbest mistake ever. Mozilla crashed due to youtube or something and I lost the whole thing. I had to go for a walk to stop myself from breaking anything in the house xD. Fun times.

I am a really calm guy by the way, you really need to like do something terrible to me to make me a little angry, but that day I just felt like kicking babies and puppies into the river. And that's to story how I got to save everything I do every 10 minutes.
 
Happened to me a few times...I wanted to break things, lol. I try to remember all the time now.

I now save as I go religiously so at least I learned my lesson this time :]
 
I think I would seriously break down and start sobbing if that happened to me...
