Time Travelers' Guide To Version Control
Ah, the prehistoric era of 2004, when "version control" meant keeping folders named "project_final", "project_final_v2", and "project_final_ACTUALLY_FINAL_I_SWEAR". This poor soul just discovered that a single cursor operation can obliterate four months of work because apparently saving multiple copies across 17 flash drives wasn't enough. The real tragedy? They're asking how to back up their work after the digital apocalypse. It's like asking about fire safety while your house is already ash.

When Your Toilet Needs Wi-Fi To Flush
The classic tale of "I told you so" but with toilets held hostage! Some genius company decided their smart toilets should have absolutely zero fallback mechanisms—because who needs to flush when the internet's down, right? This CTO is living every developer's revenge fantasy. After being forced to implement a design they knew was flawed, they get to watch the tech director panic as people literally can't flush their toilets without WiFi. The cherry on top? Those "Skynet mode" robot vacuums. Nothing says "I designed this properly" like your cleaning appliance becoming sentient during a server outage. This is why we put manual overrides on critical infrastructure, folks—unless you enjoy explaining to executives why they need a bucket to use their $5000 toilet.

Emergency Supply Kit
The true essence of network administration distilled into a single container: cigarettes and a "GOOD LUCK!" note. Because when the entire company's VPN goes down at 2PM on a Friday, or someone accidentally runs rm -rf on a production server, or the CEO can't connect to WiFi during a board meeting—nicotine and blind optimism are your only reliable protocols. The cigarettes aren't for smoking; they're for bartering with the server gods who clearly hate you today. Network admins don't need fancy disaster recovery plans—just chemical coping mechanisms and the crushing acceptance that DNS is probably lying to you again.

What Year Is It Again
The formal frog is making a catastrophic announcement with aristocratic flair! Deleting archived data from January 2024 in what appears to be... March 2024? Classic case of the "I'll clean up these temporary files" syndrome that haunts codebases everywhere. The true horror isn't just losing data—it's realizing you've deleted recent backups while ancient, useless logs from 2017 remain untouched. That moment when your stomach drops and you frantically check if there's a backup of the backup. Spoiler alert: there never is.

Cursor F*ck Up My 4 Months Of Works
Ah, the classic "I'll just wing it without version control" tragedy. Four months of work obliterated by a cursor mishap because someone thought Git was just a British insult. This poor soul is basically asking "how do I lock the barn door?" after the horse has not only escaped but taken the entire barn with it. The irony of asking about backups after losing everything is the silent scream every tech lead hears in their nightmares. Pro tip: If your "backup strategy" is crossing your fingers and whispering "please don't break" to your computer, you might want to reconsider your life choices. Or at least install Git.

Ah, the classic "rm -rf /" moment of pure existential dread. That feeling when your stomach drops through the floor because you just wiped out production data with a single command. The beauty of it happening on day one? You haven't even set up your desk plant yet, but you've already established yourself as "that person." Pro tip: backups aren't just corporate paranoia, they're career insurance. And remember, there's always unemployment if the recovery fails!
