days since the last Git and AI fuck-up

wiped the worktree

All the fuck-ups

  1. Four hundred worktrees, one of them in useOne live cleanup run removed 400 Git worktrees across 65 repositories, including one a coding session was still using. 20 ignored files never came back.Status: swept 400 worktrees. 20 files never came back.Watch it
  2. Wrong directory, right commandAn agent meant to reset a linked worktree but ran the reset in the main checkout, and 22 changed files came back only because they had once been staged.Status: recovered from unnamed blobs. Git's idea of a backup.Watch it
  3. The shortcut to ApplicationsA Gradle task Claude wrote cleaned its DMG folder through the Applications shortcut and deleted the user's apps, then the rescue snapshot was lost too.Status: cleaned the build folder. And /Applications.Watch it
  4. Nothing to cleanA Codex builder used Python's Path() to mean "nothing left to clean". Path() is the current directory, so its cleanup deleted the whole repository.Status: cleaned up nothing. Nothing was the repo.Watch it
  5. Asked to remove one fileTold to delete one Python cache file, a Codex worker ran git clean -fX on it. Git removed the whole ignored data folder, a SQLite database included.Status: asked to remove one file. Removed data/.Watch it
  6. Twelve agents, one working directoryTwelve agents shared one checkout and 2,309 uncommitted files vanished. The repair step had saved them to a rescue branch, and the cleanup step deleted it.Status: tidied once. Refused 1,477 times.Watch it
