Linus Torvalds: “Do No Harm”

You never learned at school to save what you are working on often? It's crazy, you are either too old to have required computer for school work or too young to have not lived through years of constant bluescreens.

Both 3 and 4 are mitigated by you saving your document often... it's not so bad, considering it can happen whatever you do.

Nowadays, Word is made to keep saving your change for that reason... They learned and designed it for the worst situation which is a whole system crash. If you can't handle that, well you aren't doing your work well.

Again, passing the buck. You know what I do instead of use your software that crashes all the goddamn time? I use someone else's software that doesn't.

Yes, of course we should save often, have decent backups, etc. But nobody is perfect and shit happens, and it'd be nice if the software you use didn't intentionally make it worse.
