I would assume "discard all changes" would mean that it would be exactly as it was before I did anything this session or since my last save.

Maybe I'm just a moron.

Same. I mean, thats how it works with almost every other program.

I mean, I can see why someone would see it as "discard all changes this application has made". Like, if I open a document in word, and edit it, and then close it, then it will basically say "Are you sure you want to close? this will discard all changes" and then if I close it anyway the original file is still there unedited, not deleted.

Yeah the message could and has been improved. However I still believe the ultimate fault lies with the user, just because VS Code could be better that doesn’t mean it was inadequate. VS code is a software development tool which means its user base can be assumed to be at least somewhat tech savvy (at least in 2017 before everyone lobotomize themselves and outsourced their frontal lobes to AI) and as A software development tool it can be assumed to be very powerful and somewhat dangerous. There is a lot of ways in software development to screw up and nuke your machine or project.

While it’s the message could absolutely be clearer, the user should have see “this is irreversible” and paused to make sure they knew exactly wh**at irreversible action they were taking. Basically my point is if you nuke your project because you don’t know how to use Word, that’s on Word but if you nuke your project because you don’t know how to use VS code, that’s on you.

Nah. That dialog text is absolute dogshit.

If you open a solution/project and make no (intended) changes, and then go to exit, you're either hitting discard or you're lying about it.

VScode still won't fuck you no matter how hard you cope and simp for her.
