After 1 week working on a screen (design, logic, testing) my boss comes to me saying that what I've been work won't be necessary any longer and I should discard it.

1 month later asks for that same stuff and I tell him (jus like he said I should do) that I discarded the code.

Starts calling me names and how useless I am (this was normal).

So I pick up my stuff and just get out while saying: "please, if you are so damn good, you can do that shit yourself, I quit!"

Was there for 1 miserable year and that was my best choice I made till today.

Right now the company closed cause all the devs ended up leaving him

    No matter what work you do, always have a personal backup

    @xavier666 but also delete that up front copy so you can go "Oh, actually i saved it here (when i wasnt listening to you)" and make them look like an idiot

    @ParkCity i agree. Making them look like an idiot gets priority 🤣

    @ParkCity @xavier666 yes, that was the second lesson I took that day. Right now all the work I do is put into a branch, or if not possible, backup folder in desktop

    So many posts about losing code. Does anybody use version control? There is no excuse for losing code. Even if your version control host loses your code you would still have a local backup on your computer.

    @GigabyteDX in that company I tried to implement source control but for some reason they were against it. After that event, even if where I work, they don't use it, I will have my own source control just to be safe
