Cursor Destroyed Four Months of Work

Cursor f*ck up my 4 months of works Question Disclaimer, I'm a moron who worked on the same project without thinking about the risk that Cursor could break everything. Yesterday, Cursor (even though I only asked it to feed a view on my UI) destroyed months of development. My question: How do you back up your projects/versions to ensure that the next action on cursor is reversible? Ops! Also, I know that while I'm the concern, cursor isn't the only culprit, it's also Claude (while good overall) still has some flaws No version control use for 4 months? Does it terrify anyone else that there is an entire cohort of new engineers who are getting into programming because of AI, but missing these absolute basic bare necessities?

A Reddit-style screenshot shows a developer lamenting that Cursor destroyed months of development after they asked it to make a small UI change. The comments mock the lack of version control and criticize new AI-assisted programmers for missing basic development practices. It is used as a reaction to careless use of AI coding tools and avoidable technical disasters.
