Perhaps it's a scale thing, but I get more "oh crap, I just deleted this thing, can you get it back for me?" requests than I do bug reports about soft deleted records showing up incorrectly. Being able to restore records immediately is a big win imo.

- treve 2y agoBeing able to contact a dev to undelete a record from a database does sound like a thing that's hard to scale. If this happens a lot, it could be worth examining if there's a UX problem.
- sgarland 2y agoSo implement a trash can?
- throw-the-towel 2y agoAnd how would you implement one, if not with soft-delete?
- sgarland 2y agoNo, it’s still a soft delete, but do it so restoration doesn’t require manual action by a dev.
