I trust machines more than humans.

Except when I'm hitting that Ctrl+S. Gotta hit it at least like 4 times before I can start believing :-P

    Actually that's just like clicking on a programm multiple times till it opens. More clicking makes it faster, right?
    Used to do that as a kid, lol.

    I've the same habit of Ctrl + S multiple times though. Back when I worked in a media agency we had occasional blackouts for a week or so and since this day I'm autosaving every few minutes and at least twice.

    And I do that even with auto-save feature on. Talk about insecurity.

    Once in a while I'll ever trigger a webpage save accidentally while tabbing to the wrong window​ to save.

    Yep, UI's have to be designed better, to get rid of save paranoia :)

    I've come to think of it as the "umm" of typing.

    Had ro replace those keys for this reason.

    I don't press CTRL + S more than once consecutively. I press it once and check if the file has actually been changed in another program, then continue working. Never failed me so far.

    @rangler Or press it multiple times and accidentally corrupt the file :)

    @filthyranter Simply impossible ;)
    Why/how would it corrupt?

    Well you're right in not trusting humans, especially when they are clients or stupid users...

    A habit that cost my coworker 3h of work.. I am so used to doing this subconciously, I do it even when checking packages on the db... Also forgot that the app's removal of the shortcut doesn't work, so my ocd ctrl+s compiled old package.. o.O
