That Udemy instructor told me to skip version control - worst advice I ever took
A guy named Mark on a Discord server told me "git is overrated for beginners" so I spent 2 weeks building a calculator app without any backups. Lost everything when my laptop crashed last Tuesday and had to start from scratch.

Mannnn that is brutal. I've been there with losing a whole project before and it just makes your stomach drop. Hope the second time around goes way smoother.

Started using git right after that same kind of crash, but what I'm wondering is did that instructor actually tell you WHY to skip it? Like, what was their actual reasoning for saying version control is overrated for beginners? Because that's just crazy to me, version control literally saves beginners from this exact mess. I've seen so many new devs get wrecked by bad advice like that, it almost makes me wonder if the instructor was trying to get people to buy their "recovery" course or something shady like that.
