I use restore quite a lot but it kind of terrifies me that it can erase any amount of uncommitted work if I type something wrong. "git restore ." is basically "delete everything that I don't have a backup of".

Well that's a bit of a strawman. I don't think anyone would claim the "rooskies" stole the 2016 election as you put it. On the other hand we know for a fact that Putin and his military were dead set on interfering, and w

One of the frustrating things about being a web developer is that I can do a ton of advanced optimization to the point of code splitting my js with dynamic import() or doing page level caching, lazyloading, and splitting non-critical CSS. B

Nowadays the attackers will threaten to disclose the sensitive data publicly, as they did in this case. So ensuring your own access to your data, i.e. backups, is not the only concern. It's still important, of course.
