When You Write approx 1000 lines of code without save, and then kernal panic... I'm exhausted 😑

Turns out Hard drive failing, clicking noise

@jaydevs I press Ctrl+S every 20 seconds even when I didnt do anything... I dont know why...

@jaydevs I can't even write 0.5 lines without saving

As far as i know, there's autosave feature in some of recent Editors, if you guys have any in mind please suggest me.

@jaydevs languge?

@aritzh i am coding in multiple languages, but mostly Ruby, python and C++

What kind of hardware do you have that you get kernel panics? Anyway, vim is fine with a sudden shutdown, it keeps shit in a swap file as it calls it.

@ColonelPhantom Hard drive crashed, beeping clicking noise, header stucked in platter. That's the main reason i guess

I think I have a reflex that makes me click CTRL+S every time I see a editor open... 🤔

@jaydevs then any (or maybe even all) JetBrains IDE, which I think has support for all those languages (and autosaves by default)
RubyMine for Ruby.
CLion for C/C++.
PyCharm for Python.
The last one has a "free" version, which could be a good way to get started. Also, all of them are free while being a student.

@olback I have a problem, because I do that even when I see a text field on a website, and then an annoying save dialog pops up... Entirely my fault, though.

Autosave ftw although in this case that wouldn't really help since the data is on the failed drive and hasn't been pushed yet.

I hit Ctrl+s anytime I stop typing. This has almost saved me many web pages to my HDD, especially when I'm hacking up sites built with GoDaddy builder/wix/shopify/etc.

I hit save after every 3-5 lines, usually.
