> Modern software is actively work-hostile.
My favorite recent example is DBeaver. The update to v7 destroyed their own SQL directory which had saved in it a SQL scratchpad document containing little SQL snippets I had written over the last few months, some fairly complex that I ran once or twice a week. I had restarted DBeaver dozens of times over those months, my SQL snippets returning each time ready to be run...
Then one day, like an idiot, I clicked the "Update" button and all that hand-written SQL was gone, like tears in the rain. Gee, thanks DBeaver! I love v7! Tell me more about your new features! I love having my careful work destroyed for an update...
