The File Deletion Witness Protection Program

Content Graeme Coleman V graemecoleman Hello, my name is Graeme, I have a PhD in computing, and I am a senior accessibility consultant, but when I want to type "" on a Windows laptop I go to Beyonc's Wikipedia page and copypaste the letter from there.

Ah, the digital rain that convinced an entire generation of developers they were hackers just by changing their desktop background. Nothing says "I understand binary" like staring at incomprehensible green characters while your CPU struggles to render Minesweeper. Back when we all thought knowing HTML made us Neo, but in reality, we were just Agent Smith clones copying and pasting from StackOverflow before StackOverflow existed. The only pill we were taking was caffeine to stay awake debugging our 500-line "Hello World" programs. Free your mind? More like "free up some RAM so Windows 98 doesn't crash again."

Nothing triggers that dopamine rush quite like seeing "Code compiled successfully." The rest of your day could be absolute garbage, your production server could be on fire, and your boss might be questioning your life choices, but for those brief 3 seconds after hitting compile... pure bliss. It's the closest thing to a functional relationship most developers will ever experience.

Ah, the classic "where the hell did my files go?" moment. You put off cleaning your dev environment for years because "it works, don't touch it." Then one brave Sunday morning, you decide to be responsible and update everything. Two hours later, you're staring at an empty folder where your projects used to live, questioning every life decision that led to this point. The best part? You convinced yourself backups were for people who make mistakes. Spoiler alert: that's all of us.
