Tmux
My guy. If homicide doesn't work the first time, you're doing it wrong.
If it worked the first time then it's much easier the second time.
If it worked properly the first time, then it's IMPOSSIBLE the second. Can't kill a corpse. It's too busy being dead.
Or... They're already dead so your job is done, easy!
"Considerably."
You went an hour between saves? My guy, you were basically asking the universe to screw you over
Who the fuck doesn’t use Tmux
The Army.
If something like this happens I usally start using git, never before😅
Always ctrl-a ctrl-c before submitting!
Our client forces us to exclusively use a virtual windows machine that is accessed through a browser that kills your entire session if you leave it unattended for 3 minutes.
Going to the restroom? Bad luck everything is gone.
It's like working with Alzheimer.
How the hell do you lose an hour's worth of work because of a dropped VPN?
The platform is cloud based and requires CAC authentication. I didn't know the VPN had dropped. When I went to save, it just hung there. I had to reload the page. Lost an hour.
I'm still confused. You're writing code in a web form?
Doesn't have to be code.
A friend I know was working against a deadline to fill an audit doc. The system was old and similar to OP's case, he lost connectivity, but there was no popup or warning.
When he went to save, it submitted for him, but didn't actually save anything. A couple seconds later he gets the error message, and going back didn't restore everything he had hand typed in.
I prefer to type with my feet

How dare you suggest we spend more than 10 minutes on something other than code and sitting in meetings that should be emails
Sounds frustrating but not really programming
Agreed. But a lot of senior programmers or IT managers do have to do this, so I guess OP found it relevant enough
Maybe he had to create a figma what Button color is best ( multiple options)
We have desktop application that connect to servers and if the connection to the server drops out sometimes the application refuses to save your code. Even though the application and code are both local. Modern software is a mess
This is the weird part. You went an hour between saves?
Literally what is the point of working in the cloud if it's not instantly auto backed-up?!
Gotta save that Confluence doc more often.
That is why anytime I write long texts into a website, I copy them into Notepad before submitting. I even do it on Reddit and Social media when it's >2k characters or so.
You need a new job
Too close to my triple retirement.
Came here to say that. Who is running workloads over vpn.
