That week I deleted my entire project by accident...

I was working on a little weather app for 4 days straight, just a simple thing to learn APIs. Then I ran a git command wrong and poof, gone, all of it. Took me like 6 hours trying different recovery tools before I gave up. Has anyone else had that moment where they just stared at a blank folder for 10 minutes?

4 days of work gone in one typo. Brutal.

Crashed my car into a tree once, that was a whole different kind of staring at nothing for 10 minutes. But yeah, losing code is its own special pain. I remember spending a whole weekend on a simple little script to sort my music files, just for fun, and I had it all working perfectly. Then I clicked the wrong button in a command prompt and blew the whole thing away, didn't even have a backup.
