Thanks, not feeling great about the job we're doing today, but we'll learn from this.

The way you are open about this and do not blame the engineer who did "rm -Rvf" (he knows he fucked up, suffers enough already), and seeing that improvements can be made and you're willing to do them.

Applying for work with you now, and moving all my stuff to GitLab.

Move files to GitLab: git status & rm -Rvf .

More than loving your service we like you guys as people and trust you to get things straightened out. I wouldn't host my code with anyone else despite this.

Losing 6 hours of data is not a big deal! Kudos!

It is a big deal to us. It should never be more than an hour and we should be able to recover much quicker. But thanks for the kudos.
