5000 files

0 backups

Someone's got their priorities mixed up.

having 5000 backups of 0 files is also kinda pointless.

Yeah, those are novice numbers. I have infinite backups of my 0 files!

You have to lose it all to know what matters (speaking from experience 😭)

I once lost three hours of work early on during my learning, not much that I lost but it was a moment when I learnt a lesson. Never lost work after that ever.

And they were trying to correct their priorities by looking into the source control features, so I don't see how that's anything other than victim blaming for them not doing it sooner.
